Summary/Abstract: The reading-room “Napredak” in Gorna Oryahovitsa was founded in order to support the revolutionary figures and to carry the ideas for national liberation into effect. Although it was mostly engaged in the protection, dissemination and execution of the revolutionary ideas, the reading-room did not abandon its actual educational activities. Its ideas were adopted by the female and student societies founded by the chairman Vicho Grancharov.
