History
The Library of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design was established soon after the academy itself. The first library units were registered in 1946 when the academy and its library were situated in Poljanska Street. The library grew slowly (about 400 units of library materials in the beginning) and the first librarian Milica Špenko was employed in 1954. In 1959 the academy moved to Erjavčeva Street and the library got a room on the third floor.
