Vilnius University Library is giving away books – take a piece of history home!

At Vilnius University Library, books are not only read – they are written too.

The rich history of the University and its Library is reflected in a wealth of documents bearing witness to different periods in the history of both Vilnius University and Lithuania. Our colleagues have brought these materials to light and explored them in their books. In these publications, you will encounter fascinating figures from the past, delve into diaries, explore historical sources and maps, and discover other treasures preserved in the Library’s collections. You will learn about the Jesuits who founded Vilnius University, discover how scholarship evolved and take a closer look at other chapters in the history of our Alma Mater.

To continue nurturing the bond between Vilnius University and its alumni, we invite you to return and accept a book as a gift – one in which you may discover new and perhaps lesser-known aspects of the history of a place that has become an important part of your life.

Come along, choose a book, pick up a bookmark and start reading. Take a piece of history home!
