The Central Scientific Library started functioning as a Bibliography Bureau under “Azerbaijan Society of Research and İnvestigation” (“Azərbaycanı Tədqiq və Tətəbbö Cəmiyyəti” ATTC) with initiative and support of prominent Azerbaijani intelligentsia – Nariman Narimanov, Abdurrahim bey Hagverdiyev, taghi Shahbazi, Hanafi Zeynalli and others in 1924. The “Bibliography Bureau” (1924) established under the guidance of outstanding literary-bibliographer, Professor Alexander Vasilyevich Baqriyin was the primary basis for the formation of CSL.
After the biggest Library in Transcaucasia was shut down for some years in 1920,{{Contradict-inline|reason=1920 is a single year; a closure in 1920 cannot, therefore, be a closure “for some years”.|date=July 2019}} Baku needed a new library. In November 1923, the ANAS Central Library of Science began as the office of bibliography of the Azerbaijan Society of Research and Investigation (Azərbaycanı Tədqiq və Tətəbbö Cəmiyyəti) or ATTC. It was supported by individuals including [[Nariman Narimanov]], [[Abdurrahim bey Hagverdiyev]], Taghi Shahbazi, and Hanafi Zeynalli. The founding director was Alexander Vasilyevich Baqriyin.
