The National Library of Romania (Romanian: Biblioteca Națională a României) is the national libraryofRomania. It is intended to be the repository of all that is published in Romania. The construction cost was €110 million.[1]
The roots of the library can be found in Saint Sava College library. Saint Sava College library was opened in 1859 when 1000 French volumes were archived. After the 1859 Union, the library was officially made the national library (Biblioteca Națională, later Biblioteca Centrală - National and Central library, respectively). In 1864 the library was renamed Central Library of the State (Biblioteca Centrală a Statului).
In 1901 all the collections were ceded to the Romanian Academy Library. As a result, from 1901 to 1955, the Romanian Academy Library was the national library. In 1955, the State Central library was organised, having the attributes of a national library. In 1989, after the collapse of the communist regime, the State Central Library was once again renamed to Biblioteca Națională a României.
In 1986, a new, larger location began to be built for the library, between Piața Unirii and Nerva Traian.[2][3] The initial lead architect was Cezar Lăzărescu, who died in 1986 before the building was finished.[4] Shortly after 1989, although some parts of the building were finished or in an advanced state, due to lack of funding, the construction had stalled for several years. In 2009 the project was reassigned to the Ministry of Culture, which completed the construction in 2011 and set the official opening date to take place in 2012.[5]
The National Library is a cultural institution under the supervision of the Ministry of Culture. Its goal is to administer the national patrimony of publications, by purchasing and preserving documents and making them available to the public for research or personal study.
