Ivan Potrč Library in Ptuj is a regional library established in 1945 and since 2000 housed in a 13th-century building built by the Salzburg bishops. It is named after Ivan Potrč (1913–1933), a Slovene writer and playwright. Comprising 3,200 square metres of space, it has a collection of 350,000 units of book and other material and incorporates different departments and a mobile library. Today the library functions as one of most important information and cultural centres in Ptuj and offers regular educational and cultural activities.
