The Library of Nikos Svoronos is “the end of the journey” for the great Lefkadian thinker and teacher of historical science. His historic work with the international recognition is now in his hometown and is an attraction for scholars and history buffs.

The Library of Nikos Svoronos was granted by his heirs to the Municipality of Lefkada due to the origin and fondness of Nikos Svoronos in his hometown.

The library

The library hall is on the first floor of a newly constructed building on the square chip of the old city, a few meters from the shopping and busy street. The same floor also houses the Haramoglios Special Library of Lefkada.

The list of books in France includes approximately 3004 titles and the list of books in Greece comprises approximately 1581 titles.
