The Nation's Library of the Presidency[2] (Turkish: Cumhurbaşkanlığı Millet Kütüphanesi),[4] also commonly referred to as the Presidential Library, is the largest library in Turkey, with a collection of over 4 million printed books[2] and over 120 million electronic editions[2] published in 134 languages.[2] The Presidential Library was officially inaugurated by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on February 21, 2020.[5] In addition to receiving a copy of materials printed in the country as a depository library, the Presidential Library also receives books from every country where Turkey has a diplomatic mission, in collaboration with the Foreign Ministry.[3] It is home to the Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk, the first comprehensive dictionary of Turkic languages, compiled in 1072–74 by the Turkic scholar Mahmud Kashgari,[6] among many other manuscripts and rare books.[7]

Located inside the Presidential Complex at Ankara, the Library is 125,000 square meters and can accommodate up to 5,000 readers at a time.[2] The library building is decorated with white and pink marble, designed with traditional Seljuk, Ottoman and contemporary motifs.[3]

History

The Library project was led by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in 2016 through the efforts of Turkish intellectuals, librarians, and NGOs, and inaugurated in February 2020.[8]

The Presidential Library is the largest single library investment in the history of Turkish Republic.[9] It also is the first library in Turkey to use integrated book conveyor system.[9]
