The rise of the Slovak Agricultural Library (SlPK) in Nitra is closely connected with the establishment of the University of Agricultural and Forestry Engineering (VSPLI) in Kosice in 1946. In 1951, it was termed the Central Agricultural Library, becoming the first central special library in the Slovak Republic.
