Anton Sovre Library Hrastnik

The Anton Sovre Library, Hrastnik is a public library. It was originally set up by the Svoboda ("Freedom") Association at the end of the 1940s, but in 1960 it acquired a new organisational structure with the aim of educating the community and organising cultural events for adults as well as children. In 1998 it was renamed after Anton Sovre, who was a translator of classical languages. Since 2002 the library has been an autonomous municipal cultural organisation, which has grown into not only a significant multimedia information centre but also a multi-purpose cultural venue. In 2008 the library collection consisted of 42,928 items and had 3,786 registered readers. In that same year the library organised 246 events.

In 2009 the library started a project that provides a free book (by Slovene author Dušan Čater) as well as presentation of the book, the author, and the library to all 7th grade pupils who participate in organised visits to the library.
