Let us meet at the 88th Festive Book Week!

This year too National Széchényi Library will take part in Festive Book Week organized on the 88th occasion by the founder, the Hungarian Publishers' and Booksellers' Association between June 8 and 11, 2017.

For many people it has been little known that, in addition to offering a wide range of library, museum and research site services, the Hungarian national library has been present on the Hungarian book market as a publisher for years now. National Széchényi Library presents an average of 25 to 30 prestigious publications annually, based on its unique hungarica collection and its tasks of a social sciences library. Individually or jointly with renowned publishers in Hungary and abroad, NSZL offers readers and researchers a wide range of publications including reference books on the history of culture and books, gap-filling bibliographies, valuable facsimile editions, illustrated albums, series of essay volumes and exhibition catalogs.

In addition to publicizing scheduled events of National Széchényi Library and presenting our library services, we will offer our former and new publications at a discount price during the 88th Festive Book Week.
