Library of the Regional Centre of Slavic Culture in Sobótka

The library at Fryderyka Chopina 25 in Sobótka operates as part of the Regional Centre of Slavic Culture (RCKS), an institution that, besides its book collection, also runs a cinema and a theatre stage. Readers therefore arrive at a building where the library shares premises with other forms of culture, rather than at a separate, dedicated venue.

What is on the shelves

The collection consists mainly of general fiction and family sagas, crime novels and non-fiction, as well as healthy-lifestyle guides and historical publications. The institution runs the ALFIOS catalogue available online, as well as access to the Legimi service with e-books, so part of the collection can be borrowed without leaving home.

Discussion club and requested purchases

The library runs a Book Discussion Club called "Za-księgowani", where readers meet to talk about the titles they have read. Library users can suggest purchases of specific books, and the institution keeps expanding the collection with new titles.

Branch in Sobótka Zachodnia

Besides its main premises on Chopina street, the library has a branch in the part of town known as Sobótka Zachodnia, with a separate contact phone number. The split into two locations matters mainly for residents of that part of Sobótka, who do not need to travel to the centre for every book.

Practical information

• Address: Fryderyka Chopina 25, Sobótka.
• The library is housed in the building of the Regional Centre of Slavic Culture, not far from the Stanisław Dunajewski Ślęża Museum, so both cultural institutions can be visited on a single trip to town.
• Sobótka lies at the foot of Mount Ślęża, so for those setting out on the trail the library can be a convenient stop along the way, if they happen to have time to check its reading offer.
• The library's website has accessibility tools (text enlargement, high contrast, readable fonts); it is worth confirming opening hours by phone before your visit.
