Libraries are treasuries of human memory. They are a crossroad of different cultures and languages. Here, spiritual values are united. Words and sentences rest in libraries and no one can predict the time when some of them will emerge into our life.

Man's desire is hidden, in libraries, as in labyrinths, his thoughts are arranged in various shapes, from the beginning of time to the present.

Libraries, as the most powerful centers of information are the basis of every national culture. They are great secret. To reveal this secret is to achieve national enlightenment.

Books and electronic publications found in libraries are like unique family living in harmony without fear of endangering each other.

Well arranged libraries offer step by step research, patient and peaceful work. They are not places of glamour.

For men of learning libraries are holy places, and for the uneducated they are places of apathy. Where the uneducated are outnumbered, libraries are relegated to a marginal status and, as institutions, they are in a more difficult position.

Welcome to the Matica Srpska Library.
