Summary/Abstract: Letters by distinguished Croatian writers from Bjelovar: Krsto Špoljar, Mato Lovrak,Željko Sabol, etc., as well as by writers from other parts of the former state – mainly from Zagreb(Danko Oblak, Gustav Krklec, Vjekoslav Kaleb, etc.), Sarajevo (Izet Sarajlić) and Belgrad e(Branko Ćopić, Desanka Maksimović, etc.), as well as professors and scholars (Edo Špoljar,Dragutin Grganić, Tvrtko Čubelić, Ivo Hergešić, etc.) witness, as a form of business, private and finally literary discourses – both directly and indirectly – to the forming of the picture of the Bjelovar cultural circle in the 1960s. The city institutions (City Library; City Museum; History Archives; secondary school, etc.) played thereby the key role. It has been endeavoured to analyse the cultural efforts in the 1960s in their entirety, with an emphasis on the literary achievements of M. Lovrak, K. Špoljar and Ž. Sabol. Letters by these distinguished writers to Zlata Veček, director of the Bjelovar City Library, related to their visits to Bjelovar during that decade have been taken as the starting point for this synthesis.
