On September 13, 1810, Mariano Moreno created the first public library in Buenos Aires. In 1954, the celebration of that date was decreed nationally as Librarian's Day.
Mariano Moreno, then Secretary of Government, was the driving force behind the initiative. Other related proposals were the creation of the Gazeta de Buenos Ayres and the translation of Rousseau's The Social Contract. The first headquarters of the Biblioteca Pública, the predecessor of the current Biblioteca Nacional Mariano Moreno, was located on the current Moreno and Perú streets. The institution's first librarians were Dr. Saturnino Segurola and Fray Cayetano Rodríguez.
That same date was established as "Librarian's Day" by the Congress of Librarians, meeting in Santiago del Estero in 1942. Later, in 1954, and by means of Decree No. 17.650/54, it was instituted at national level to honor all the librarians and libraries of the country.
