The National and University Library ( Slovenian. Narodna in univerzitetna knjižnica , NUK ), founded in 1774, is one of the most important educational and cultural institutions of Slovenia . It is located in the center of the capital Ljubljana , between the streets Turjashka ( Turjaška ulica ), Gosposka ( Gosposka ulica ) and Vegova ( Vegova ulica ), in a building designed by architect Jože Plečnik between 1936 and 1941. The building is considered one of the greatest creations of Plechnik. Under the Compulsory Copying Act , publishers in Slovenia are required to provide a copy of any publication to the national and university libraries. In 2011, the library kept about 1,307,000 books, 8,700 manuscripts and many other textual, visual and multimedia storage units [1] , the library also signed (in 2010) for about 7,900 periodicals [3] . Books and other materials are kept in storage at Turjaška ulica Street and Leskoškova cesta .

History
Around 1774, after the abolition of the Jesuit Order , the Lyceum Library was formed on the remains of the Jesuit and several monastery libraries. It was founded according to the decree of Empress Maria Theresa . The provision of copies and copies of publications to the Lyceum Library became mandatory by a decision of an Austrian court in 1807, published only in Krajna , with the exception of the short period of the French occupation, when copies were received from all Illyrian provinces . In 1919, the library became known as the State Information Office and began to collect copies from all over Slovenia. In the same year, the University of Ljubljana (the first Slovenian university) was founded and the library also served its needs. In 1921, it became mandatory to provide copies of publications published throughout Yugoslavia. The library was named Universitetskaya in 1938. [four]
Architecture
Since 1791, the library has been located in the building of the Ljubljana Lyceum . In 1919, additional temporary premises were allocated in the building of Polyanskaya Gymnasium . In 1930-1931, the design of a new building for the library was developed by the architect Jozhe Plechnik . The initial draft met resistance from the Yugoslav authorities in Belgrade. However, constant student protests and demonstrations exerted pressure, [5] and a new building was erected between 1936 and 1941 by the company Matko Kurka. [6]
