In 1945 W.S. Kazanowicz (1915–1969) founded a private library, “Books for Silesia”, in Wrocław, which he ran until his death in 1969. He pursued, with varying degrees of success, the idea of “open library”, which is the main focus of this article. Kazanowicz responded to the cultural, scholarly and educational needs of Wrocław residents, people of various cultures and nationalities. The incoming Polish population, mainly pupils, students and adults pursuing further education had access to books in the reading room and could also borrow them; Kazanowicz also organised various clubs and educational activities, promoting reading (press archives, New Year competition with prizes, bulletin, Committee for the Promotion of Reading Culture etc.). He tried to maintain his library at a difficult time for private libraries, in the post-war period, which is why he was also involved in commercial activities (application writing services, translations, small advertising publications, sale of magazines, newspapers, tobacco products and stationery, running a national lottery outlet). What was a completely novel initiative was the endowment of scholarships and grants to provide financial support to impoverished students. As a determined activist, he was able to skilfully combine the tradition of 18th- and 19th-century private lending libraries and reading societies in Wrocław with new social challenges in order to integrate people who hadcome to Wrocław after the war from various parts of Poland. As such he was unknowingly half a century ahead of the concept of “library as the third place”.

Wiktor Żółtowski is not widely known within the Polish scientific circles. He spent most of his life in France. Some (Robert Estivals) consider him to be the founder of the French school of statistical history of intellectual production, based on the bibliographical method. What makes his research original is combining the historical method used by François Simiand and the data contained in bibliographies in order to carry out a quantitative analysis of published scientific works registered in various lists, mainly in „Bibliographie de la France”. Żółtowski’s works can be positioned between the borders of book studies, the history of writing, and sociology.

Postać Wiktora Żółtowskiego nie jest bliżej znana w świecie nauki polskiej. Większość życia uczony spędził we Francji. Celem artykułu jest przybliżenie jego osoby i dokonań naukowych. Francuski bibliolog Robert Estivals uznał W. Żółtowskiego za założyciela, opartej na metodzie bibliograficznej, francuskiej szkoły historii statystycznej produkcji intelektualnej. Oryginalność jego badań polegała na wykorzystaniu danych zawartych w różnego typu spisach, głównie w „Bibliographie de la France”, do analizy ilościowej produkcji wydawniczej tekstów naukowych. Prace W. Żółtowskiego powstały na styku bibliologii, historii piśmiennictwa i socjologii.

In the interwar period about 50 different types of guides for librarians and bookselling guides were published in Poland. Many of them contained mainly advices on setting up libraries, organizing them and gathering collections, but both types contained information on selection of books in terms of their educational function. 1) The aim of the research is the presentation of selected guides issued in Poland in 1918-1939, which were addressed to employees of various types of libraries: public, school, parish, home, etc. and their lists of books and recommendations depending on the targeted reader. 2) Materials and methods: selection of guides, comparative method, literature analysis, bibliographic method. 3) Applications are the answers to the following questions: Were the reading recommendations in the analyzed manuals addressed only to the book professionals, as an aid in completing book collections and making reading choices, or to the readers as well? Which educational models were most important, to what extent they referred to the curricula in schools? Whether censorship was taking place (they included titles that should not be read), etc.?

In the 19th century, scientific-literary and artistic salons have already had a long tradition in Polish culture. Since they derived from the French model, they were usually organized by aristocrats. In the second half of the 19th century, Polish intelligentsia, including lawyers, organized similar meetings, which led to a social intermingling of their profession. They regularly met in the private houses of Warsaw lawyers, such as Edward Leo (1828–1901), Aleksander Kraushar (1843–1931), Lucjan Wrotkowski (1847–1902) and Adolf Suligowski (1849–1932). Professional as well as scientific, literary and artistic issues were discussed at the meetings. Newly published Polish and foreign books were presented, fragments of texts were read and discussed, which propagated book culture in the circles of Warsaw lawyers.

W XIX w. w kulturze polskiej salony naukowo-literackie i artystyczne miały już długą tradycję, wzorowaną na francuskiej, stąd były najczęściej organizowane przez arystokrację. W drugiej połowie XIX w. inteligencja polska (w tym adwokaci) organizowała na ich wzór podobne spotkania integrujące środowisko zawodowe. Regularnie zbierano się w domach znanych warszawskich adwokatów: Edwarda Leo (1828–1901), Aleksandra Kraushara (1843–1931), Lucjana Wrotnowskiego (1847–1902) i Adolfa Suligowskiego (1849–1932). Na zebraniach tych dyskutowano zarówno o sprawach zawodowych, jak i o kwestiach naukowych, literackich i artystycznych. Prezentowano nowości książkowe, polskie i obce, czytano fragmenty prac oraz wymieniano się uwagami na temat lektury, propagując w środowisku adwokatów warszawskich kulturę książki.
