Chekhov Library in Taganrog (full name The Central Municipal Public Library named after Anton Chekhov, Russian: Центральная городская публичная библиотека имени А.П.Чехова) is the oldest library in the South of Russia. The public library along with a small bookstore were officially inaugurated on 23 May 1876 by the Governor of Taganrog Admiral Johan Hampus Furuhjelm. The City Council gave to the library some of its vacant offices on Grecheskaya Street. Before, there were only private libraries and libraries at the Boys Gymnasium, Mariinskaya Girls Gymnasium and the Taganrog Naval School. In March 1878, the Public Library moved into another building granted by the City Council on Petrovskaya Street. More information...
