The "Atatürk's Book World" exhibition opened at the Presidential Library.

In the exhibition at the Presidential National Library, works from the Atatürk Museum Pavilion, Anıtkabir Atatürk and War of Independence Museum, Istanbul University Rare Works Library and Samsun Gazi Museum were examined and books thought to have been read by Atatürk were presented to visitors.

In addition to books, the exhibition also featured Atatürk's voice recordings and speeches, as well as photographs taken at different periods.

Those visiting the exhibition had the opportunity to see closely the books Atatürk read and took notes on.

In his statement to an AA correspondent, Ayhan Tuğlu, Head of the Presidential Libraries Department, commemorated Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic, with mercy and gratitude.

Tuğlu, noting that the "Atatürk's Book World" exhibition was completed after approximately two years of work by an eight-person expert team, said, "A distinguished exhibition of over 30 books, magazines, and documents was opened here. Models of 491 books are now available in our Cihannüma Hall, and full-text access to 491 books is now available to the world on our website."

Drawing attention to the importance of one of the books in the exhibition, Tuğlu said:

During Atatürk's fourth trip to Samsun in 1930, he requested books from Afet İnan. One of these books was "Beautiful Women in History." After reading this book, Atatürk took notes in blue ink and told the library director, Şefik Bey, that the passages he had noted in blue ink should definitely be made available to the public. This section also includes Madame Roland and her words about freedom. The library director then took this text and added it to the first page of the book.

Tuğlu, noting the high level of interest in the exhibition, said, "The founding leader and founder of our Republic is beloved by everyone. We believe we are not only commemorating him but also shaping his present with a special exhibition, books, and website. We hope researchers will also benefit from his work. We welcome those in Ankara to see our exhibition. They can browse these books on our Presidential National Library website or by visiting mk.gov.tr. They may have witnessed Atatürk's world of books."

Rüya Acar, who visited the exhibition, stated that she had traveled from Istanbul to Ankara with her family to visit Anıtkabir for the November 10th celebrations. "I get very excited when I see his handwriting," she said. "We get even more excited when we see everything about him. And his voice is here, and it's heard. This is a beautiful thing. This is truly a beautiful place."

The exhibition will be open to the public for two weeks.
