France Bevk Public Library Nova Gorica

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.
