City Library Linz

Since September 2007 the main library has been located in the Tower of Knowledge (Wissensturm). A re-designed children’s library (KiWi) and the self-study center (LeWis) enhance the offerings of the library. Customers can use self-service automats with RFID-technology to take out and return media.

There are ten additional branches within the area of Linz. All of the media can be returned to any of them. In most of the branches public access to Internet is provided. In all of them it is possible to register for adult education courses in the “Volkshochschule“. At most of the libraries (except for the one in Urfahr) citizens’ services are also offered; for example active passes of the City of Linz and parking cards for residents can be obtained, civil registration can be performed and lost or found objects can be reported there.
