Abstract
The aim of this article is to present the process of organising the book system in Lodz in 1945-1950. In this period many different kinds of book institutions were created (libraries, publishing houses, printing-houses, professional organisations, didactic, scientific and research institutions connected with books), which was presented in context of, both local and outside, cultural, scientific, educational and social-political conditions. In this study the author also took into consideration the historical aspect of the analysed issue – the relations of the presented system (or their scarceness) to the world of
books of the pre-war Lodz.
