Summary/Abstract: Traian Brad, the former director of the ""Octavian Goga"" Library in Cluj, is the founder of the ""Transilvania"" Library, a branch of the ""B.P. Hasdeu"" Municipal Library in Chişinău. He was the first persan from beyond the Prut River to accept and assume the responsibility of opening a library in Chişinău. He supported it for a period of 1O years, contributing to its development through successive, high-quality donations and promoting its image wherever he went. Traian Brad was born on August 31, 1945, in the village of Pănade, Alba County. He graduated from the Faculty of Philology at ""Babeş-Bolyai"" University in Cluj. Starting in 1987, he served as director of the ""Octavian Goga"" County Library in Cluj. This year, Traian Brad would have turned 80, had fate been kinder to him. We have gathered recollections from notable figures in both the Republic of Moldova and Romania to honor the contribution of this distinguished man of letters to the founding of the ""Transilvania"" Library in Chişinău.
