Comment: Good work so far on this article. However, unfortunately, in order to prove notability, an article needs to references 2-3 sources which are reliable, independent, secondary sources, which talk about the subject of the Wikipedia article at length. The article is REALLY close to proving notability, but the sources which so far fulfil notability requirements are the news articles about the upcoming move. Ideally, there would be a source focussed more on the history of the library outside of the local issues. Either that or another good news article which does not follow exactly the same form as the other two. Good luck and keep up the good work 👍 Absurdum4242 (talk) 14:29, 20 August 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: When you say "in the next 6 months" that will quickly become false as time passes. Please use statements like "scheduled for mid-2027" (or whatever date is correct) instead. M kuhner (talk) 23:41, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

Faneromeni Library (Greek: Βιβλιοθήκη Φανερωμένης) is a library located in Faneromeni Square in Nicosia. It is one of the oldest libraries in Cyprus.
History
[edit]It was founded in 31 October 1933 by the Faneromeni church and a group of prominent men of letters.[1] The Faneromeni library houses the reading room and the informational center of the Cyprus Library, specialising in Cyprological material.[2]
The building
[edit]The library is housed on the first floor of the Tsaousis building, which is a property of the Church of Cyprus.[2] The Tsaousis building was constructed in the 1920s and its one of the landmarks of Neo-classical architecture in Nicosia. The library was housed there from 1934.[3] In 2009 the neo-classical building of the library was restored according to strict specifications.[4]
The library is scheduled to be moved in mid 2027 because the Archibishophoric has reached an agreement to rent it to the annex of the University of Athens that has been established in Cyprus in 2025.[2] The librarians have expressed their concerns for the move in a lettter, explaining that the proposed move of all the material from the Phaneromeni Library to the Cyprus Library is inadequate because the Cyprus Library doesn't have the capacity and the health and safety specifications to house the material and the librarians.[5]
Collections
[edit]- Constantines library[6]
- The personal library of Neoklis Kyriazis[7]
