In the autumn of 2013, the President of Georgia, Mikhail Saakashvili, founded "Saakashvili Presidential Library" and laid the foundation for the construction of the library building. The main goal of the foundation was to set up an educational center which would support the promotion of liberal-democratic values, as well as the ideas of national unity and independence of thinking in the society.

Saakashvili Presidential Library is located in the centre of Tbilisi, surrounded by several universities and is easily accessible for about 30 thousand students who study in the immediate neighbourhood. Besides, its central location decides that the students of all other universities may effortlessly access the Library for study and extracurricular activities. Architectural design of the Library belongs to a world famous architect Jürgen Mayer, and carries a clear imprint of progress and modernity. SPL provides excellent infrastructure for reading, books storage, a conferencing, along with meeting rooms and working spaces. Additionally, an open café is located on the roof of the building.

The Library offers unique collection of contemporary literature in policy studies, social sciences, architecture and urban studies. Focused on policy and politics in general the Library provides newly published books in the fields of political theory and policy analysis, international relations and regional studies, national security, political communications, law and history, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, physiology, etc. The Library cooperates with main international publishers such as SAGE, Wiley, Cambridge, Chicago and Harvard Universities, Bloomsbury, Palgrave, Person, Rutledge and others.
