Welcome to Tartu Public Library

Tartu Public Library is an active and innovative library, highly visible both on Estonian cultural and library landscape. It was founded in 1913. It has a central library, three branch libraries, a stationary circulation unit and home service. There are about a hundred people working at the library.

Tartu Public Library is an information centre, which main task is to offer our users information on all modern media. In 2008 the library had more than 35 000 registered users and over 2000 visits a day. The library offers cultural events and entertainment to the users, organizing book and art exhibitions, concerts, meetings with writers, fairy tale mornings for children, monthly book café, annual events: seminar on original Estonian children’s literature, literary festival Prima Vista, Fairy tale day, Nordic library week, celebration of Estonian Book Day, Russian literature week, etc.

In 2007 Tartu Public Library website was reorganized, changing it from being a webmaster-operated website into a specialist-operated website, meaning that over 30 librarians at our library enter the information from their field of expertise and interest to library website, making it more dynamic and offering Estonian colleagues and users access to valuable information about culture and literature.
