Abstract :Nail Bayraktar, who was born in Tetovo, Macedonia in 1932, immigrated to Istanbul with his family when he was only 6 years old. He spent his childhood and youth years in Fatih Karagümrük where he settled down in 1938 and lived there during his childhood and youth years, completing his first, middle and high school years there too. Bayraktar, who completed his military service as an artillery lieutenant in 1953, passed the civil service exam he took in 1954 and started to work as a library clerk at the Süleymaniye Library in June 1954. Shortly after he started working in the library, he wanted to continue his higher education by enrolling into Istanbul University, Faculty of Letters. Bayraktar, who stated that he could not attend the classes enough due to his heavy workload and that he tried to continue his education as much as he could during his entitled leave periods taken in exchange for weekends guarding, married Miss Nimet, who, like himself, devoted herself to this profession
