Abstract (English): The paper intends to show, based on the list of the books confiscated in 1880, what the working class could read in the libraries of the Osijek Workers' Educational Association (1867) and the Craftsmen's and Workers' Association (1874). From the perspective of the history of reading and using published sources (lists of books, newspaper articles, letters from the city and state authorities), it analyses who, when and where could read books in the mentioned associations. The confiscated books from the list were divided according to disciplinary areas, the language in which the works were printed; and the authors of the works according to their sex and the countries in which they lived. The analysis of the available sources led to the conclusion that the list contained predominantly historical - romance novels published in the German language, which were read by the domestic social elite of the time, and foreign workers as well, which shows that members of associations and users of libraries could share a similar reading repertoire with them. There are more male than female authors, and their reception, as well as the subject matter of their works, probably played a role in their choice. The potential users of the libraries were mostly craftsmen of foreign origin who could read the available books in the premises of Šeper's brewery and Hotel "Europa" in the evening hours.

Abstract (Croatian): U radu se nastoji prikazati što je radništvo prema popisu konfisciranih knjiga iz 1880. godine moglo čitati u knjižnicama Osječkog radničko-obrazovnog društva (1867.) i Obrtničko-radničkog društva (1874.). Iz perspektive povijesti čitanja i korištenjem objavljenih izvora (popisa knjiga, novinskih članaka, dopisa gradskih i državnih vlasti) analizira se i tko je, kada i gdje mogao čitati knjige u spomenutim društvima. Konfiscirane knjige koje su se nalazile na popisu podijeljene su prema disciplinarnim područjima, jeziku na kojem su djela tiskana, a autori/autorice djela prema spolu i državama u kojima su živjeli. Analizom dostupnih izvora došlo se do zaključka da su na popisu bili najprisutniji povijesno-ljubavni romani objavljeni na njemačkom jeziku, a muški autori zastupljeniji su od ženskih. Potencijalni korisnici knjižnica bili su većinom zanatlije stranoga podrijetla, koji su dostupne knjige mogli čitati u večernjim satima u prostorijama Šeperove pivovare i u hotelu „Europa".
