Pestalozzi Library Zurich

The Pestalozzi Library occupies a building in Zurich's old town and houses over half a million items such as books, magazines, and multimedia materials. The location offers extensive resources across different subjects and interests for various learning needs.

The library forms part of a network of fourteen public libraries created throughout Zurich to support education and knowledge access for residents. This organized expansion ensured that people across the city could reach information services easily.

The library holds collections dedicated to Swiss regional history and languages that serve both students and local visitors. It functions as a gathering place where people explore their interest in local topics and develop their knowledge.

Visitors can choose from different subscription options to borrow materials and take home various amounts of resources. Children and young people under eighteen receive free memberships to support their learning.

The first floor features a small balcony where readers can enjoy their selected materials during summer months in an outdoor setting. This exterior space offers a refreshing change from the indoor library environment.
