a public library in the historic Pod Czterema Atlantami tenement house on Wałbrzych's Market Square, operating since 1945

Culture in Wałbrzych starts with its libraries: addresses downtown and in Podzamcze, good for quiet reading and a calm break from sightseeing.

Which library stands in the heart of the city?

The Pod Atlantami Library is a public library for residents of Wałbrzych and the surrounding county. It has worked since 1945 in the historic tenement house Pod Czterema Atlantami (Under the Four Atlases) at number 9 on the Market Square, which gave it its name. At Market Square 6 you will also find a branch of the Lower Silesian Pedagogical Library. It has a book catalogue and access to the digital resources Ibuk Libra and Polona, and supports teachers with materials.

Where can you go outside the centre?

The Multimedia Library Branch works in the Podzamcze district, at Kasztelańska 7. It is a separate site of the Pod Atlantami network, independent of the main building on the Market Square, so do not mix up the addresses. It serves residents of Podzamcze independently of the main building.

When is it a good plan?

All these places carry the "Na deszcz" (rainy day) and "Solo" tags, so they suit a cloudy day or a trip on your own, and the Pod Atlantami Library works for a quiet moment together too. Afterwards move on to the museums or the Wałbrzych in the rain page. For a walk around the centre, look at ideas for couples. The whole city is on attractions in Wałbrzych, and other cultural places in the region are in culture in Lower Silesia.
