Abstract
Tarnów’s land was inhabited by numerous landowners until 1945. Among them were representatives of the Cielecki family who came to Ryglice from Podole. The books of the Cielecki family were mainly collected in Porchowa and Hadyńkowce until the 1920s by Alfred Cielecki (1821-1892) – a wealthy landowner, a member of numerous Galician societies and a distinguished breeder and horse expert, and by his son Artur Karol Cielecki (1850-1930) Member of parliament, social activist, long-term president of the Association of Agricultural Castors. They created an interesting book collection. These books have been held in the Public Library in Tarnów since 1945 (and the time of the agricultural reform in Poland). This collection is dominated by historical and socio-political publications, in Polish language mostly, and with one type of provisional signs – the seals that the next bookstore owners preferred. There are also books published in series with interesting publishing luminaries. In the Ryglice collection, there are unique editions in both Polish and foreign languages available in a few centers in Poland only. For this reason, the collection is of significance not only for the history of the Tarnów region, but also as a valuable national heritage.
