At the time of the Second Republic an important role in the popularisation of the achievements of pedagogic and affiliated sciences, as well as in the basic, supplementary and in-service training of teachers, was played by the pedagogic libraries of the school district boards of education (KOS). Their establishment was dictated by the necessity of creating 'professional, scientific and self-education workshops' for teachers and other persons associated with education and upbringing. Such an institution was the Central Pedagogic Library of the Wilno KOS (1924-1939), created upon the initiate of curator Zygmunt Gasiorowski in October 1924. The library was opened to the public on 29 November 1924 together with a reading room, but it actually commenced its work on 16 September 1925, i.e. after the opening of the lending library. Before the inauguration, it was necessary to prepare basic documents defining norms for the library's functioning, convene a Central Public Library Board, adapt the interiors intended for its seat, initiate completing the outfitting and the book collections, as well as employ a librarian. Just as essential were the assorted endeavours aimed at winning the support of the local teachers. The presented article is an attempt at recreating the efforts of the Wilno school authorities and teachers' organisations, which resulted in setting up the board of education library. Helpful sources found in, i.a. the Lithuanian Central State Archive in Vilnius made it possible to reconstruct the history of the Central Pedagogic Library and to become acquainted with the essential and rarely publicised 'behind the scenes' issues accompanying the organisation of the institution.
