The Ahmet Kabaklı Library opened its doors to the public in 2011 in Istanbul's Fatih district. Hosting the private collection of author Ahmet Kabaklı, which consists of 16,695 items, our library houses a total collection of approximately 38,000 works.

Operating within a 600-square-meter space with seating for 160 visitors, the Ahmet Kabaklı Library offers a diverse collection encompassing history, literature, political science, philosophy, research and reference, art, information technology, science, religion, personal development, cultural heritage, architecture and design, as well as children's books and periodicals.

Situated in a central location in Fatih, our library hosts a variety of events for children, young adults and adults, much like other IMM-affiliated branches. Featuring dedicated general and children's sections, the library also provides much-needed study spaces for students in the surrounding area.

Local residents are welcome to use the borrowing services of the Ahmet Kabaklı Library, as well as all other library branches affiliated with the IMM Department of City History, Promotion and Tourism, Directorate of Libraries and Museums.

Users can register for membership through several convenient methods:

Readers wishing to become members can quickly register and access the services using the IMM Library (İBB Kütüphane) mini-app located within the İstanbul Senin mobile application.
