Przedruk książkiHistoria Ostrowca Świętokrzyskiego

The project 'Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski City ReNewal' included, among other things, the creation of local cultural assets aimed at strengthening the impact of local identity.

To achieve this, on September 15, 2022, a public procurement process was announced. The process involved the development and printing of a publication on the history of Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski for the adult residents of the city. On October 4, 2022, the most favorable offer was selected.

As a result of the contract with the contractor, the Józef Gołuchowski Academy of Applied Sciences, a 580-page monograph of Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski was produced, bound in a hard cover. A total of 500 copies were printed. Some of these copies were distributed to all libraries operating in the city, including school libraries, some were made available to residents during the book’s launch at the Municipal Public Library, another batch was given to City Council members, and several dozen copies were sent to provincial and national libraries. The remaining copies were distributed to residents interested in the city’s history.

Due to the high demand for the monograph, a decision was made to print an additional 2,000 copies. On February 19, 2024, an agreement was signed with the publishing agency 'Paj-Press' s.c., with a contract completion deadline set for March 29, 2024.

The reprinted copies are being gradually distributed to city residents using various methods, including during events related to the city’s history, through formal and informal groups involved in community engagement, and upon individual request from residents to the City Hall.
