- Abstract
Libraries are one of the indicators of the cultural developments in Maribor. They spread around the city after 1918. In 1921, the pre-war scientific library of the Historical Society for Slovenian Styria transformed into the general scientific Study Library. Under the expert leadership of Janko Glazer, it soon became the first and largest Slovenian scientific library in Styria. In the interwar period, the libraries in Maribor were -- because of the socio-political and ideological splits -- divided among three political camps: the liberals with the People's Library; the Catholics with the Educational Catholic Library; and the socialists with the Chamber of Labour Library. The libraries of the Association of Cultural Societies also played an essential role in national awakening and culture. The educational institutes and numerous societies in Maribor had their libraries as well.
