National Library of Luxembourg

The National Library of Luxembourg is a cultural institution in Kirchberg that stores around 1.8 million printed materials. The collection includes books, manuscripts, journals, newspapers, magazines, databases, maps, and musical scores in various formats.

The institution was founded in 1798 as the Central School Library and received its current name in 1899. It moved to its present Kirchberg location where it became established as the national repository for published materials.

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.

The library is open on different days at varying times and admission is free for all visitors. Those interested in specific collections or archives should check ahead to plan their visit accordingly.

A mobile library system called Bicherbus uses converted buses to deliver books to villages throughout the country. This program brings reading materials to people who cannot easily travel to the main location.
