He ordered that one copy of each printed book be provided to the library.<\/p>\n<p>In 1925, the National Library of Serbia moved to a building on Kosan\u010di\u0107ev Venac, utilizing the space in the former paper and cardboard manufacturing factory of Milan Vapa, an industrialist and philanthropist. When Vapa sold the building to the Kingdom of SHS (Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes) in 1921, it was adapted for the needs of the library. The architect Branko Tanazevi\u0107 designed the building in the academic architectural style.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18577\" style=\"width: 769px\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/narodna-biblioteka-kosancicev-venac-830x0-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18577 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/narodna-biblioteka-kosancicev-venac-830x0-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"759\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/narodna-biblioteka-kosancicev-venac-830x0-1.jpg 759w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/narodna-biblioteka-kosancicev-venac-830x0-1-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/narodna-biblioteka-kosancicev-venac-830x0-1-50x35.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 759px) 100vw, 759px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The building of the National Library on Kosan\u010di\u0107evo venc (demolished) Source: Collection of photographs of the Museum of the City of Belgrade<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The library building was hit on April 6, 1941, during the <a href=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/en\/memorials-belgrade\/17984-2\/\">German bombing of Belgrade<\/a>, and a large part of its book collection was destroyed at that time. In the third wave of bombing that day, an incendiary bomb struck the library building, and by early evening, the fire had engulfed the structure and a significant portion of its holdings. The inventories and catalogues were destroyed, along with a collection of over 1,000 manuscripts and charters dating from the 12th to the 17th centuries, the cartographic and graphic collections, newspaper collections, a collection of Ottoman documents concerning Serbia, early printed books, the personal libraries of Vuk Karad\u017ei\u0107 and \u0110ura Dani\u010di\u0107, as well as the complete correspondence of prominent figures in Serbia\u2019s and Yugoslavia\u2019s cultural and political history.
