The interior of the Kranj City Library, 2013
Established in 1960 with the merging of two existing city libraries, the Kranj City Library serves as a regional library as well as a cultural and information centre for the wider Gorenjska region (it consequently boasts a comprehensive and ever-growing collection of books and multimedia items on the region and its people).
In addition to managing branches in Stražišče, Naklo, Preddvor, Šenčur, Cerklje na Gorenjskem, and Jezersko, it also runs so called mobile library stations at five further peripheral locations. The Library Association of Gorenjska is also based at its premises. In 2011 the library moved to newer, state-of-the-art premises in the city centre.

France Bevk Public Library Nova Gorica exterior, conceived by the architect Vojteh Ravnikar (1998–2000).
France Bevk Public Library Nova Gorica is named after a writer France Bevk (1890–1970). It is situated in the town of Nova Gorica and performs the tasks of central regional library for the Goriška Region. The library was founded in 1949 in Šempeter pri Gorici, in close vicinity to the Italian border. During the 1990s it became an important information centre, a function which was further enhanced in 2000, when it moved into a new modern building conceived by the architect Vojteh Ravnikar.
The Library has branches in Bilje, Branik, Deskle, Kanal, Prvačina, Renče and Solkan, and since 1971 it also runs a mobile library service, which, in addition to almost 80 locations in the region, also visits two towns in Italy.
