Summary/Abstract: In the second half of the 19th century and until the Second World War, Lviv was one of the most important book production centers and publishing movement. Książnica-Atlas, being an extension of the Publishing Administration of the Higher Schools Teachers Association in Lviv, has equipped one school in Poland with wall maps and atlases to teach geography and history, in schoolbooks, school readings, encyclopaedias, dictionaries, gave teachers methodical guides, and the administration was given cabinet maps.

One of the many publishing series of the Książnica-Atlas directed at a younger reader was the “Biological Library”. The aim of the notebooks published within this series was to provide high school students and teachers with the monographically developed biological issues.
