The Cyprus Library (Greek: Κυπριακή Βιβλιοθήκη, Kypriakī́ Vivliothī́kī, Turkish: Kıbrıs Kütüphanesi) is the national library of the Republic of Cyprus.[1][2][3]
History
The Cyprus Library was founded by the British Colonial Governor Sir Ronald Storrs, who noticed the lack of a public library in Cyprus. During the period books were brought from Britain to add to the library.[4] It used to work under the Ministry of Education, Culture and Youth, but after the establishment of a seperate Deputy Ministry of Culutre, it is now organised under it.
Holdings
The Cyprus Library houses over 178,000 books.[4] It possesses the archive of Ioannis Sykoutris during his time in Cyprus.[5]
The oldest work in the possession of the Library is Malta Illustrata, the first book that was published in Malta in 1647, written by Giovanfrancesco Abela.[4]
