The Library of the Croatian Parliament is a special library, and it operates as a separate unit within the Secretariat of the Croatian Parliament. It was founded in 1861.
Due to the renovation of the main building, the Library is temporarily located on the second floor of the Croatian Parliament building in Demetrova street. The Library is open from Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Library's main objective is to provide Members of Parliament, Parliament’s working bodies and the Parliamentary Staff Service with information and publications relevant to their work. Library services are also available to employees of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia, the Government of the Republic of Croatia and the Office of the Ombudsman of the Republic of Croatia.
The Library maintains and develops several collections, maintains databases, issues a monthly bulletin, provides various information services and edits and maintains content on the Library's website. The Library cooperates and exchanges information with other parliamentary services in Europe and the world through the European Center for Parliamentary Research and Documentation (ECPRD).
Although the Library is not open to the public, external users can use the Library’s collections in the reading room for scholarly research, with the approval of the Secretary of the Croatian Parliament.
