Oldest Public Library in Greece Renovated

The oldest public library in Greece, the Public Historical Library of Zakynthos, has been renovated.

The library was established in 1628 by the Venetians who owned the island. Currently, it hosts 50,000 rare editions and 20,000 books of the last decades.

The Zakynthos library and the wealth of books had been abandoned for years, with the books stored on dusty shelves or locked storage rooms.
