Separate premises for the library have been started to be built in 1938. Before that the university used the Regional public library, established in 1852 and given to the university. In the collection there were 15 000 books, and by the end of 1875 – 31 thousand copies of scientific and educational literature. The funds were constantly replenished with publications that were purchased or presented, that is why for complete functioning of the library a new building was necessary. The project was developed by architect from the Ministry of labor of Romania Leon Silion. According to the project, the building was to be constructed in neoclassical style and to consist of administrative building of 3 and a book depository of 7 floors (designed for 1 million of books).

With the advent of Soviet rule and the start of the Second World War the construction was frozen until 1947. The construction of the library was completed in 1956, from the next year it has already started working. Architectural memorial of local significance.
