Summary/Abstract: This article is an attempt to outline the possible directions of research on the book and the library in literary works whose dates of creation are divided by a considerable timespan, but which refer to the common topographical framework. In the context of this article these are the frames of Drohobych reality, as presented in the stories and novels of I. Franko, A. S. Mueller, B. Schulz, A. Chciuk, H. Grynberg and E. Schenkelbach. The analyzed literary works are texts with an extensive auto/ bio/geo/graphical profile, reflecting various historical, artistic and cultural experiences of homo localis. The book, library and reading motifs have been depicted in the perspective of the transformation from individual autobiographical memory into the cultural memory with the appropriate semiotic, axiological and anthropological dominants.
