In Piran there exists a long tradition of public libraries. In the 17th Century the Accademia degli Intricati had founded a small public library. And it has evolved continuously ever since. Readers can choose from a treasure of over 60000 books in Slovene, Italian, English, German and French languages. The rarities are not kept at the library, but instead you can obtain items from a vast ethnological collection of material pertaining to Piran, as there is a special division dedicated to that scope. The books are being lent also to transitory visitors of the town. 
Opening hours:
- from Monday to Friday: 10. 00 - 18.00, Saturday: 8.00 - 13.00.
