Summary/Abstract: The monastery of the Ancient Observance Carmelites in Sąsiadowice, former Przemyśl diocese, had one of the largest Carmelite libraries within the Polish territory in the 19th century. The article aims at the reconstruction of the Sąsiadowice book collection, and description of the library functioning, basing on the preserved archival materials and copies of the books dispersed in the years 1917 and 1946, currently stored in three institutions: the National Ossoliński Institute, the Stefanyk National Science Library in Lviv, and the Carmelites Archive and Library in Cracow.
