The paper is the first attempt to characterize Podgorz's library offer in years 1920-1939. The turning points is on the one hand the return of Pomerania, including Podgorz, to Poland following years of annexation, and on the other hand the outbreak of World War II in 1939, which completely damaged most of the bibliothecal stock. Podgorz was a town situated on the border between the Pomorskie (Pomerania) and Poznan voivodship, on the left river bank of the Vistula. The final union of the towns (Torun and Podgorz) took place on the 1 April 1938. The purpose of the article is to note down all libraries existing then in Podgorz: Lending Library of Sodality St. Mary's Queen Crown's of Poland [Biblioteka Bractwa Niepokalanie Poczetej N. M. P. Krolowej Korony Polskiej], libraries of religious organizations and many societies and associations. Podgorz's libraries offer in years 1920-1939 seems very interesting. Decidedly the biggest number of libraries existed within the framework of different societies and organizations, thanks to them that the professional literature was readily accessible for different professional groups dwelling in Podgorz.
