A new, 13th branch of the Marko Marulić City Library Split – the Technology Park Library – has opened at Split Technology Park, a contemporary space that further enriches the facilities available to the park’s tenants and the wider community.
The opening took place on 4 May, as part of the programme celebrating the Feast of St Domnius, with representatives of the City of Split, Split Technology Park and the library in attendance. The library was officially opened by Deputy Mayor of the City of Split Matea Dorčić, Director of the Technology Park Goran Batinić and Library Director Grozdana Ribičić.
The new branch is located on the third and fourth floors of the dynamic environment of Split Technology Park, which brings together entrepreneurs, startups, individuals and the scientific community, so the library naturally becomes a meeting point for knowledge, innovation and everyday work. The space has been designed as an open and stimulating environment: a place for learning, work, collaboration and taking a break. In addition to the library collection, users have access to digital tools as well as educational programmes and cultural events, with an emphasis on technology, innovation and sustainability.
The Technology Park Library is conceived as a hybrid space that goes beyond the traditional role of a library. In addition to access to books and information, it offers a platform for exchanging ideas, meeting people and developing new initiatives. Particular emphasis is placed on developing content related to technology and ecology, including workshops and programmes that encourage sustainable thinking and the application of innovation in everyday work and business.
The opening programme was further enriched by a range of activities. Architects Dinko Peračić and Miranda Veljačić presented the interior design concept, while the Deputy Ambassador of the Kingdom of Norway in Zagreb, Helge Klouman Marstrander, presented a donation of books by Norwegian authors. The opening also featured the “eKultura” exhibition of the Ministry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Croatia, which presents cultural heritage in a contemporary way through 3D-digitised museum objects and augmented reality (AR).
With the opening of the Library, Split Technology Park further establishes itself as a space that offers not only business infrastructure but also facilities that foster community development, knowledge exchange and connections between different sectors. The Technology Park Library is not just a new facility, but a logical step in the development of Split Technology Park as an open platform for innovation, learning and collaboration.
