Vienna Public Libraries, Public library network in Neubau, Vienna, Austria
Vienna Public Libraries is a network of multiple branches spread across the city, each housing extensive book collections, digital resources, and multimedia materials. Study spaces and community rooms in each location provide areas for learning and gathering.
The system was founded in the early 20th century to make education and literature accessible to all residents, marking a shift toward public knowledge sharing. This founding mission continues to shape how the libraries operate today.
These libraries serve as gathering spaces where neighborhoods connect and local artists display their work. Author readings and rotating exhibitions happen regularly, creating a space where community voices are heard and celebrated.
The branches are spread across different neighborhoods, making it easy to find one nearby. All locations offer similar services, so visitors can choose which works best for their needs and location.
Each branch develops specialized collections that reflect the particular interests and needs of its own neighborhood. This approach creates tailored offerings that truly match what the local area cares about.
