Fokus ovog diplomskog rada je na starim belišćanskim knjižnim fondovima koji su nakon 1960 – ih godina prošloga stoljeća dislocirani na tri lokacije: Gradska knjižnica i čitaonica Belišće, Muzej Belišće i Muzej Valpovštine. Uz povijesni prikaz belišćanskih knjižnica od kraja 19. stoljeća pa sve do suvremene Gradske knjižnice i čitaonice Belišće, cilj je bio istražiti današnje stanje fondova starih knjižnica, te otvoriti mogućnost pokretanja projekta njihove revitalizacije.The main focus of this graduate thesis is on the old libraries in Belišće which were, after the 1960s of the last century, dislocated to three locations in Belišće and Valpovo: the Belišće City Library, the Belišće Museum and Valpovština Museum. Along with the historical view of libraries in Belišće from the end of the 19th century to the contemporary City Library in Belišće, the aim was to explore the state of the old libraries' funds and to open the possibility of launching their revitalization project
