Poznań University Library and the Library of the Poznań Society of the Friends of Sciences in the years 1919 - 1953
Abstract
The article recalls an important episode in the history of the two distinguished libraries
in the region. When, in 1919, the new Polish university in Poznań was established it did
not have a matching library for the purposes and aspirations of a newly-established academic
institution. When the former Kaiser Wilhelm Bibliothek was converted into the
University Library it could not initially manage the task as its collections almost did not
include many sought-after Polish books. The problem was finally resolved by a decision
to co-operate closely with the library of the Society of the Friends of Sciences. In return
for some financial support (some of the librarians working in the library were included
the University salary grid), the library of the Society undertook to made its collections
available to the University staff and students. This was of utmost importance as the
University Library, especially in the first years of its existence, suffered from painful
shortages in copies of Polish books, and this opportunity helped the University to cope
with the teething problems and provide its students with good studying conditions.
