阿尔巴尼亚国家图书馆成立于1922年,是欧洲所有国家图书馆中最年轻的一个。在解放以前,国家图书馆发展很慢,经过二十二年,藏书才发展到八千册,而且绝大部分是外文书籍,还有许多是具有极反动的法西斯主义内容的意大利文书籍。解放以后,由于阿尔巴尼亚劳动党和政府的关怀,国家图书馆在解放的当年就搬进了当时最美丽的大厦之一。图书馆的藏书迅速增加,1947年即已达到八万九千八百九十二册,1963年几达五十万卷。阿尔巴尼亚国家图书馆收藏的研究阿尔巴尼亚和巴尔干半岛的书籍,达到二万二千册,占世界第一位。阿尔巴尼亚人民提供了不少稀有的版本,大大丰富了这方面的藏书。国家图书馆每天平均出借的书籍近五百本,阅览室接待三百名左右读者,其中包括工人、学生、学者、工程师、技术人员、作家、医生等。图书馆还经常把书籍送到其他城市的图书馆去。国家图书馆从1958年起每 Founded in 1922, the Albanian National Library is the youngest of all national libraries in Europe. Before the liberation, the National Library was developing very slowly. After 22 years, the number of books has grown to 8,000. Most of the books are in foreign languages, and many are Italian books with extremely reactionary fascism. After the liberation, due to the concern of the Albanian Labor Party and the government, the National Library moved into one of the most beautiful mansions of the time in its liberation. The collection of books in libraries has rapidly increased, reaching 89,819 in 1947 and up to 500,000 in 1963. The Albanian National Library has collected 22,000 books in Albania and the Balkans, ranking the first in the world. The Albanian people have provided many rare versions which have greatly enriched the collection of books in this field. The National Library lends an average of nearly 500 books a day, and the reading room receives about 300 readers, including workers, students, scholars, engineers, technicians, writers and doctors. Libraries also often send books to libraries in other cities. National Library from 1958 onwards
