contents <p>The paper examines the development of mass reading practices in the working-class districts of Kharkiv at the beginning of the twentieth century through the activities of the branch departments of the Kharkiv Public Library. The study reconstructs the role of these institutions in expanding access to books and reading culture among industrial workers and residents of the city outskirts.</p> <p>Particular attention is devoted to the first branch department opened in 1901 near the Kharkiv Locomotive Plant, which effectively became the city’s first “library for workers.” The article analyzes the reading interests of workers, the results of surveys conducted among readers, and the organization of library services adapted to the limited free time of industrial laborers. The research demonstrates that fiction constituted the most popular category of requested literature, while collective and family reading practices remained widespread among workers.</p> <p>The study also examines the ideological orientation of the branch departments, including the influence of former revolutionaries and populists involved in library administration. Special consideration is given to the formation of progressive library collections, the inclusion of social science literature, and the circulation of prohibited publications concealed in specially prepared “decoy books.” The paper discusses the growing conflict between the library branches and imperial censorship authorities, which ultimately led to the closure of the branch departments in 1908–1909.</p> <p>The article argues that the branch departments of the Kharkiv Public Library played an important role in shaping reading culture among workers and became significant centers of public education and intellectual communication in industrial Kharkiv. The research contributes to the history of reading, library history, and studies of workers’ cultural practices in the late Russian Empire.</p>
