Fővárosi Szabó Ervin Könyvtár (literallyMetropolitan Ervin Szabó Library) is the largest library network inBudapest,Hungary.

The Metropolitan Ervin Szabó Library's main branch is housed in the 19th-centuryneo-baroque Wenckheim Palace.^{[citation needed]}

The municipal library needed more space as its collection grew, so it expanded to a network of additional buildings while restoring the palace as a national monument. The library is now 13,000 m² and houses Budapest's largest public collection of books with a capacity for 1,100,000 volumes.^{[citation needed]}

In 2003, the International Real Estate Federation awarded thePrix d’Excellence to its central building.^[1]
