Lucerne central and university library, Academic library in Lucerne, Switzerland.

The Central and University Library Lucerne operates in three locations across the city, providing educational resources and research materials to students and public users.

The main building on Sempacherstrasse, designed by architect Otto Dreyer, opened its doors in 1951 and continues to serve as the primary facility.

The library maintains 1.3 million items in closed stacks, including historical manuscripts, rare books, musical works, and an extensive photo archive collection.

Students and researchers access specialized support through reading rooms, group study areas, individual workspaces, and dedicated spaces for newspaper consultation.

The library participates in an inter-cantonal storage project that will accommodate 18 million volumes, strengthening its position in Swiss academic resources.
