The library was founded in 1944 with a modest stock of 150,000 items. Its activity has its foundations in the rich tradition of literature and libraries on Macedonian soil.

The Library has some 120,000 users annually, of whom 75% are students and 15% scientists and scholars, the remainder belonging to other categories.
