Klementinum National Library, Czech Republic

Today we will get our learn on and voyage to the Klementinum National Library in Prague, Czech Republic.  This library is actually part of a historic linked set of buildings called the Clementinum.  The extended history of the library comes from its religious roots in the 11th century, however, the current library was founded in 1781, it would not be until 1990 after the war that it would officially be named the National Library.  The library is now moving forward with renovations, along with the rest of the Clementinum.  The library is a recipient of the UNESCO Jikji Prize.  The prize is also called the Memory of the World Prize because it is given to groups that aim to protect the world from losing its knowledge in a mass case of Amnesia or something similar.
