Named after Nasrettin Hoca, one of the important figures of Anatolian culture known for his wisdom, wit, quick thinking, and tolerance, our library opened its doors in 2014.

Our library also meets the study space needs of young people in the area. With a collection of 11,000 works from various disciplines, Nasrettin Hoca Library serves Istanbulites, especially the residents of Bağcılar.
