History
The library was founded as the City Library of Szczecin in 1905, and housed in a 1868 building originally designed to serve as a secondary school.[1]

During World War II part of the library building was destroyed due to air raid bombing. Upon World War II ending, the library reopened on the 12th of July, 1945. It was the first Polish library in the city to reopen post-war.[2]
Ownership was transferred from central to local government in 1990.[citation needed]
On the 3rd of October 1994 the library was renamed to become the Pomeranian Library. [2]
In 2009 the library opened a digital collection, allowing for online access of records and collections.[2]
