>The Załuski Library was considered the first Polish public library[4] and one of the largest libraries in the contemporary world.[2] In all of Europe there were only two or three libraries that could boast such holdings.[5] The library initially held some 200,000 items, which grew to some 400,000 printed items, maps and manuscripts[2][6] by the end of the 1780s. It also accumulated a collection of art, scientific instruments, and plant and animal specimens.
>In World War II, the German soldiers deliberately destroyed the collection (held in the Krasiński Library at the time) during the planned destruction of Warsaw in October 1944, after collapse of the Warsaw Uprising.[2][3][5] Only 1800 manuscripts and 30,000 printed materials from the original library survived the war.
