Thanks for finding out! To be honest, I was a little bit surprised by the claim of the largest library in Europe. So I made a very quick and superficial search via wikipedia. They listed Moscow, St Petersburg, Paris and London as the biggest libraries but they went by the number of books or articles (books + magazines + ...).
Nevertheless, it is an impressive library and you can be proud to have it in your area!
