National Library of Kosovo
The National Library of Kosovo (Albanian: Biblioteka Kombëtare e Kosovës; Serbian: Народна библиотека Косова, romanized: Narodna biblioteka Kosova) is the highest library institution in Kosovo established by the Assembly and is located in Pristina.
The mission of the library is to collect, preserve, promote and make accessible the documentary and intellectual heritage of Kosovo. It holds exhibitions and holds an archive of national newspapers. The library also provides a number of other services. It is known for its unique history, and the style of the building designed by the Croatian architect Andrija Mutnjaković, followed by controversies about the outside appearance of it. It was ranked in the top ten ugliest buildings in the world by VirtualTourist.
The history of libraries in Kosovo dates back to the 14th and 15th centuries. Collections of the Christian and Muslim religious communities there are considered as the oldest archives libraries in Kosovo.
Kosovo's institutional library was officially founded in December 1944 in the city of Prizren.
In 1982 the library was moved to the current building which was built in Pristina, the current capital of Kosovo.
Over the years the National Library's name has changed depending on the political position of Kosovo.
Note that the former official names of the National Library of Kosovo are originally in Albanian and can be found in the library's journal Bibloletra
In 1989, the status of Kosovo as an autonomous region of Serbia was revoked, tens of thousands of Kosovo Albanians working in the public sector lost their jobs, and Albanian students could not attend university courses in Albanian language anymore. For public and private libraries in Kosovo, the 1998-1999 period was a time when many library collections were burned and destroyed.
