The beginnings of the library in Łomianki go back to 1946, when a community library was established in nearby Młociny, which was the main reading point for the combined rural communes. As a result of the administrative reform of 1954, Młociny was incorporated into Warsaw, and in Łomianki the Gromadzka National Council was established to look after the local library and its branch in Buraków.
The original book collection, numbering only 1,800 volumes, was kept in the Nowosielski family’s house at the intersection of Warszawska and Wiejska Streets. In 1961, the library was given a large room in the Teachers’ House. Soon, the first reading of fairy tales was organized here, which was widely echoed throughout the country (the program was even broadcast by television!). Soon the library was moved to an even larger premises at 1 Szpitalna Street.
In 1975, a second branch of the library was established in the house of the Wejs family in Dąbrowa Leśna. Unfortunately, in the early 1980s, some of the premises of the facility in Łomianki were allocated to the local government kindergarten, which mobilized the management to undertake efforts to build a new library building. It was completed in 1988. After the political transformation, the institution established cooperation with the town of Columbia Heights in the United States. Thanks to the support of the local Polish community, the library received books and magazines in English and the first computer. In 2001, the public library in Łomianki was granted the status of an independent cultural institution.
"The web service promoting the cultural resources of the region based on cycling tourism" is co-financed by the European Union (European Fund for Regional Development) within the Regional Operational Programme for the Mazowsze Region for 2014-2020.
