Founded in 1829 and housed in a mosque-like building, it is the oldest Turkish-speaking library in Cyprus.

The Selimiye Mosque Library (Sultan II. Mahmut Kütüphanesi) resembles a classical Ottoman mosque, with its central dome and three domes. It was built in 1829 at the instigation of Ottoman governor Ali Ruhi Efendi. In the same year, Sultan Mahmoud II donated 1,800 books to what was then Cyprus' first public Turkish-language library. In front of the library stands the small Monument of the Grey Wolves (Bozkurtlar), a Turkish ultra-nationalist movement founded in 1968 by Turkish Cypriot Alparslan Türkeş.
