The Municipal Library at Čelákovice was founded as a public institution, according to the Library Act in 1920. The Library had two predecessors, libraries founded by associations or private persons. The first of them was established in 1864, but not many reports about it have been preserved till now. The second one was founded in 1884 by the then associations of the town, especially by "Občanská beseda" , a society having strong patriotic aims. It was a public library that collected about 300 books. Čelákovice have therefore a great library tradition.
The history of our Municipal Library can be systematically traced since 1920. It was administered by a Library Committee and reports of its sessions inform us about the development of the Library. In 1930, the Library had yet about 1500 books. It was situated at the City Hall and later at the local Secondary School. During the Second World War, the Library was housed in a building in the centre of the town near by the post-office. It remaind there till 1952. The town was grewing up and the number of the readers of the Library as well. The Library became the Regional Central Library for all libraries in adjacent places. In the second half of the seventieth years of the century, the lack of space became critical. The Library used to lend 50.000 books and journals in a year and the lending was to be carried out at one library desk, common for adult and children readers. Therefore the representatives of the town decided to provide a new building for the Library in 1979. A private house was bought and its reconstruction was started in 1980. On March 1, 1983, the new Library was officially opened to the public.
New conditions enabled the Library to offer to its readers different kinds of services from this time. Five professional librarians are members of the staff. With profound changes in the political and economical development of our land, there were changed also the conditions for the activities of the Municipal Library, first of all in the acguisition policy due to the transformations of the book trade and book fair. An independent subject of Law, there is the Library since 1992. The second branch library was opened.
The activities of the Library has been successful till now, both thanks to good conditions created by the municipal authorities and to the enthusiasm of the Library staff. The growing interest in the library and information services demonstrate the contempment of the readers and users with the public activities of the Municipal Library.
In 1994, there was bought the first computer for the Library. The electronic cataloguing of books into the library system LANius began. The official starting of electronic lending services took place in 2000. The Library offers electronic lending and information services.
