Summary/Abstract: Parish libraries belong to the broad group of church libraries. Their characteristic feature in the modern world is the openness to the lay readers. The main task of parish libraries in the local community is to cultivate faith and Christian culture hence the distinctive range of collections. Currently there are ten libraries of this type in Rzeszów. The collections are relatively few in number including books, newspapers and movies mostly with religious themes. The interest and the number of readers is rather small therefore a noticeable decrease in the number of parish libraries in Rzeszow has been observed in recent years.
