The Library becomes a public service
The Historical Library of Dimitsana is recognized as a public service by law in 1843.
Why it matters
It marks the transformation of the school-library tradition into a lasting public cultural institution.
In 1843, the Library connected with the historic School of Dimitsana became a public service by law. This gave institutional form to an older educational and manuscript tradition that had survived the Revolution and the heavy loss of books used as cartridge paper.
