The library has been operating in the building of the Andrej Manfreda Home since June 2002, which was renovated by the Municipality of Kobarid after the earthquake in 1998. The interior of the library is uniquely designed and modeled after Scandinavian libraries. Architect Nataša Štrukelj built the interior with a contrast between the earthy wooden floor and the airy furniture made of glass and aluminum, as well as fiery red seating elements and water-shaped sculptures and a spiral wall. Due to its unique interior design and technological equipment, the library was listed in the database of the most beautiful European libraries in 2009. The beginnings of librarianship in the Kobarid area date back to the mid-19th century, when the Society of Young Men and Women for a Pious Life was established in Libušnje. Following the example of other Slovenian towns, the National Reading Room began operating in Kobarid in 1871, and at the turn of the century, the municipality opened the first public library of its kind in Slovenia. After World War I, the pre-war Reading Room tried to continue its mission, including the opening of a library in 1923, but the Italian fascist regime obstructed their activities, so they stopped operating in 1925. After liberation, the library operated with some interruptions under the Simon Gregorčič Cultural Society until 1964. From 1978, the traveling library continued its mission during its monthly stops in Kobarid and the surrounding areas. In the 1980s and especially in the 1990s, the Tolmin library sought to open a branch library in Kobarid. Kobarid residents received a new, exceptionally well-equipped departmental library in 2002.
