| Description | Strossmayer’s South Slavic Library Based on the materials of the period and available information from Prague libraries, the author of the article tries to capture the formation and development of Strossmayer’s South Slavic Library—the Czechoslovak-South Slavic League cultivated mutual Czechoslovak-Yugoslavian relationships in inter-war Czechoslovakia. The focus is on its functioning, goals, and generally on its development—which was not always ideal. It also maps its acquisitions, reading rooms and other activities, and tackles the limits and issues it was facing and which hindered its further development and full functionality. The author also outlines the story of the library before and after the WWII and also how—probably by accident—it served well its original goal: deepening the Czechoslovak-Yugoslavian or Czech-Bosnian relationships. Key words: Strossmayer’s South-Slavic Library; Czechoslovak-South Slavic League; Czechoslovak-Yugoslavian relationships; culture; society library; inter-war period. |
