The Municipal Library of Ljubljana is the biggest public library in Slovenia. It was established in 2008, when Oton Župančič Library, Bežigrad Library, Slovanska Library, Prežihov Voranc Library, Šiška Library and Jože Mazovec Library, which used to be separate institutions, consolidated. In 2011 a new library in Zadvor was also opened within the Municipal Library of Ljubljana, which performs the tasks of regional library for the central Slovenia region.


In 2008 the library's collection was comprised of 1,647,900 titles. Its units had 97,518 members and were visited 2,245,186 times. The library organised 3,276 events, which had 161,776 visitors.
