Reading range modernization entails changes in social, political, economic and moral views of the society, and therefore studying this problem is an actual direction of modern research. In the pre-revolutionary period the predominating role of religion and church, characteristic for the traditional society in the whole, clearly revealed itself in the range of reading, which basic segment was religious and spiritual moral literature. Emergence of philosophic works, including those by F. Nietzsche with his critical attitude towards religion and church in the whole and Christianity in particular, should be stated as one of indications of the Siberians’ range of reading modernization in the period under study. It has become the basic argument for to choose studying namely his works presence in Siberian libraries as the most obvious case of remote provinces inhabitants’ reading modernization at that time. The aim of the article is to identify modernization processes in the Siberians’ reading on the example of works by F. Nietzsche presence in it. Information from 26 catalogues of Siberian pre-revolutionary libraries is given. They reflect collections of 19 libraries, located in provincial, regional and county centers. City public libraries as well as local commercial and community assembly ones, chosen because of their most openness to users, predominate. The results of the study show that during the period under review many Siberian libraries had works by F. Nietzsche. Their presence in the libraries of Siberia can be considered the evidence of reading and the whole book culture modernization in the region. The identified data allow to clarify and supplement the regional picture of library collections and the potential repertoire of the Siberians’ reading, as well as to add to the argument in favor of modernization processes presence in their reading in the late 19th – early 20th century.
