Abstract: The architectural history of the theater hall of the Chitalishte "Nadezhda", declared in 1973 as a historical cultural value of national importance, and of the library, declared in 1980 as an architectural and construction cultural value, is interesting. The hall from 1886 is connected with sittings of three Great National Assemblies and important events for the establishment of the Third Bulgarian State. The library building with a reading room and a museum was built in 1912 to awaken public life and the mental and moral development of the citizens.
One of the traditional tasks of the Chitalishte Board in the past and today is to seek funds to maintain this cultural home, which continues the mission bequeathed by our ancestors to preserve and develop traditional Bulgarian values.
