Popis:	About fifty years after the work that astronomer Tycho Brahe carried out while living on the island of Hven had made him world famous, King Christian IV of Denmark built the Trinity Buildings in Copenhagen. The Tower observatory was opened in 1642, and it housed the astronomers from the University of Copenhagen until 1861 when a new, modern observatory was built at {\O}stervold in the eastern part of the city. In 1996, all the University astronomers from the observatories at {\O}stervold and the small town of Brorfelde were relocated to the Rockefeller Buildings at {\O}sterbro, and the two observatories were closed. In this paper we focus on the library at the observatory in {\O}stervold, and its subsequent fate following the close-down of that observatory. Comment: 13 pages, 17 figures
