General access to the library is free. Only certain temporary exhibitions or cultural events may require payment. We recommend checking its current program before your visit.

You can explore the main architecture and permanent exhibitions in 1 hour. If you plan to enjoy special activities such as readings or talks, or spend time in the reading garden, allow up to 2 hours.

The library occupies the former Dabački House (1885), an outstanding example of brick architecture in Banat. It is named after Jovan Popović, an important Serbian writer born in Kikinda who promoted regional education.

Spring and autumn are ideal because of the mild weather. During the day, weekday mornings are less crowded. In January, do not miss its participation in Kikinda’s famous Owl Festival.

The main floor and exhibitions have ramps and an elevator. The historic building has some areas with narrow staircases: contact them in advance at +381 230 422 615 to confirm specific access arrangements.

Less than a 5-minute walk away you will find the National Museum of Kikinda (with mammoth fossils), the Terra Gallery in a brick factory, and the Kikinda Mammoth sculpture.

1) Respect the silence in the reading rooms. 2) Check its cultural agenda. 3) If you are visiting other attractions in Kikinda, consider a themed audio guide to immerse yourself in its history.
