Uppsala Library

Uppsala Library is a public institution spread across multiple branches throughout the city, offering a diverse collection of materials in more than 80 languages. The network includes books, digital resources, and specialized work areas designed to serve different learning needs.

Uppsala's library system traces its roots to Carolina Rediviva at Uppsala University, which began collecting books in the 17th century. This long tradition of preserving knowledge evolved over the centuries and forms the foundation of the modern public institution today.

The library fosters community through regular language practice events and creative workshops that help visitors express themselves and develop new skills. These programs create a gathering space where people from different backgrounds come together and learn from one another.

Visitors can sign up for digital courses and one-on-one coaching to learn more about using computers, smartphones, and the internet. The facility offers regularly scheduled sessions to help people of all skill levels develop these abilities.

The Studio area gives visitors the chance to work with podcasting equipment, sewing machines, and other digital creative tools. This open workshop allows people to bring their own projects to life and experiment with new creative techniques.
