Summary/Abstract: In 2013, 150 years were celebrated since the establishment of the Faculty of Letters of Bucharest, and, in this context, this article presents a brief history of the Library of this prestigious institution in Romania. Its beginnings are at the end of the nineteenth century, when a specialized library was formed in the Department of Slavic Languages within the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters. The book donation in 1892 to Slavic seminar, and subsequent efforts of Professor Ioan Bogdan, Dean of Faculty, led to the opening in 1907 of the Library of the Faculty, and the constant development of the Library recorded over more than a century of existence.
