The Business Information department of the Krakow Voivodeship Public Library came to existence in November 1997. It was a second library department of that kind in Poland. Our task is to accumulate, work out and retain information from the scope of business and the European Union and make it available to our visitors free of charge. Our mission is to support local SME and to secure access to information for our visitors. The Reading Room also supports academic community’s educational background. Services and activities of the Reading Room are open to a wide circle of patrons, among them:

• businessmen, stock exchange investors, SME owners,
• the unemployed and people looking for a new job,
• teachers from public and private colleges, academies and universities,
• students and graduates from high schools and colleges.
