National Library of Luxembourg, National library in Kirchberg, Luxembourg
The National Library of Luxembourg is a public library in the Kirchberg district that holds printed books, journals, manuscripts, maps, and other documents. The collection covers multiple languages and formats, including digital resources and musical scores.
The library was founded in 1798 as the Central School Library and received its current name in 1899. During the 20th century it moved to its present building in Kirchberg and became the national legal deposit library for all works published in Luxembourg.
The library displays works by Luxembourg artists and holds collections reflecting the country's cultural identity. Visitors can see historic manuscripts and old prints that document the region's literary heritage.
Admission is free and the building is open to all visitors. Anyone planning to consult a specific archive or special collection should check access conditions in advance, as some materials require a prior request.
The library runs a mobile service called the Bicherbus, a converted bus that travels regularly to villages across the country to deliver books where no branch is nearby. This service reaches communities that would otherwise have no easy access to library collections.
