The Pomeranian Library (in Polish in full Książnica Pomorska im. Stanisława Staszica w Szczecinie and in German Pommersche Bibliothek) is a Regional Library based in Szczecin (formerly Stettin), Poland. It is the largest humanities oriented library in the West Pomerania, with a focus on social sciences, Pomeranica, Scandinavian, German and Seamanship.
It was decided to establish a public library in 1901, and material was acquired from the Council Library, the library of the Pomeranian Museum and in 1904 the city school library. The library itself was opened 3 October 1905, and material has been acquired from various sources subsequently.
Ownership was transferred from central to local government in 1990. Recent projects have included microfilming the most valuable documents.
The English name of 'Książnica' in catalogue (database) http://www.worldcat.org is 'Central Library of the West Pomeranian Province'.
