The German Library of the Goethe-Institute was opened 5. 11. 1998.
The German Library (GL) in Pilsen, a partner library of the Goethe-Institute, is, along with the English and Austrian libraries, part of the Foreign Libraries section of the Education and Research Library of the Pilsen Region. The Goethe-Institute participated in the establishment of the library and supplied the start-up stock, which the Education and Research Library of the Pilsen Region has loaned on a long-term basis. At present the stock of the GL continues to be supplemented on a regular basis with materials from the Goethe-Institute. The library is an independent workplace of the Education and Research Library of the Pilsen Region, which is responsible for its operation. The entire stock of the GL is accessible via the electronic catalogue; all services are governed by the Library Regulations of the SVK PK.
