Building S390, Historical part of the city
20 H. Manto St.

Historic value
Built in 1910
In 1920 - 1936 the first Klaipeda public library was operating

The plan of the year 1840 indicates that the plot belonged to the shelter-hospital. In the beginning the garret was uninhabited but later there were rooms arranged. In the second half of the 19^th century only women lived in this shelter. In the beginning of the 20^th century there was a teachers’ seminary. In 1920 there was a delivery desk in one room and two other rooms served as storage for the books. Later there were established youth, music and literature sections in the library. In 1936 the library was moved to another building in the same street.
