Summary/Abstract: Local newspapers represent an important departure point in the reconstruction of the history of institutions. Between 1957 - 1965 the local newspapers Steaua Roşie and Vörös Zászló published many articles concerning the activity of the Mureş County Library which enable us to reconstitute the most important stages of the development of the library. It was a period of reorganization and new beginnings: a technical section was founded and he children’ s library was moved to a more suitable location. From the same source we could also learn out about the so-called „house librairies”; these made up a network of librarians who would bring books up to the readers’ homes. Along time, these were transformed into district librairies.
