Users of the library
The library is dedicated to the enhancement of the work of the ministry and that of national parks.
It has a collection of books and periodicals which is unique in East-Central Europe, therefore not only the civil servants working in the field of nature conservation are allowed to use the library, but also researchers, institutions, studetns, members of NGOs dealing with nature conservation or ornithology, as well as cultural institutions, enterpreneurs involved in nature conservation, and others interested in conservation or zoology. The library thus serves research and education in the field of ornithology and nature conservation as well as the practice of conservation.
