On December 19, 1917, at the preliminary meeting of the University’s Council of Professors, where the curriculum of the future university and admission terms were discussed, Ivane Javakhishvili introduced to his colleagues the will of the prominent Georgian publicist Kita Abashidze, according to which Kita Abashidze’s library was donated to the University. This private collection laid the foundation for the Tbilisi State University book repository.
The contributions of various institutions, including the Black Stone Manufacture Board, the former Censor Committee in the Caucasus, the Society of Spreading Literacy among Georgians, Georgian Historic and Ethnographic Society, and the gymnasium for nobles have been instrumental in the development and maintenance of the library holdings. The library received donations from a diverse range of sources, including bookshops and publishing houses, as well as private individuals, like Davit Sarajishvili, Svimon Kldiashvili, Petre Melikishvili, Ekvtime Takaishvili, Aleksandre Tsagareli, Dimitri Bakradze, Tedo Zhordania, Vasil Petriashvili, and others.
