In 1952, a book collection had already existed, and it continued to grow over time. As a result, in 1969, the foundation stone of the library was laid at its current location. According to the plans at the time, the building was mainly constructed with glass and aluminum.

In the mid-1970s, the library began to experience unprecedented growth; the collection expanded continuously, the number of readers increased (with a higher proportion of young readers), the reference service became consistent, the local history collection was cataloged using a perforated card system, and preliminary work for some local history publications began.

Regular meetings between authors and readers, reading nights, lectures, and game afternoons became common.

On September 22, 1973, the music section was opened with 118 records and discs for learning foreign languages.

Over the years, services expanded even further: the introduction of an integrated library system, the development of a CD-ROM collection, continuous resource development, the creation of a reading room with internet access, IT courses, and hosting conferences marked the institution’s ongoing activity.

The condition of the building deteriorated over time, and the book collection grew continuously, creating the need for a new, modern building to provide a worthy space for public cultural development.

According to the plans of architect Imre Makovecz, the current building was inaugurated in 2018.
