Pirgos, 271 00, Greece

Information

We are currently in the Public Central Library of Pyrgos, established in 1926. The library owes its existence to Konstantinos Christopoulos, its founder and first president, who generously donated the plot on which the library stands today. It boasts an extensive collection of books, including the personal book collections of two prominent Pyrgos figures: the politician and writer Stefanos Stephanopoulos and the poet and writer Takis Doxas, who also served as a library director. Takis Doxas holds a special connection to the Olympic Games, as his poem "The Light of Olympia" is recited every time the Olympic flame is lit.

During the summer season, the library is open on weekdays from 8 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon.
