Dr. C. I. Istrati Municipal Library in Câmpina

The Dr. C. I. Istrati Municipal Library in Câmpina operates in a former official residence of the directors of the Astra Română oil company. The building on Culturii Boulevard thus links the industrial history of the city with its cultural activity. The name of the institution recalls the scholar who established the first local public library in 1906.

It is a public library in operation, where access to books and services for readers follow the rules of the institution. The architecture of the former residence is reminiscent of the homes built for the heads of oil companies. Check the library’s schedule for cultural activities and reading room access.
