About
Adnan Ötüken Provincial Public Library was first established on 25 July 1922. After providing services in different buildings, it was moved to its current building in 1983. In 1985, the library’s name was changed to Adnan Ötüken Provincial Public Library in honour of Adnan Ötüken, the founder of the National Library. It was designed and built by the architect Paul Bonatz between 1944- 46. To borrow books, you must become a member. Membership is free; yet some of the books can only be read inside the library. You can return any book you borrow from this library to a different public library in another city.
