The Hans Glauber library is a public library in the municipality of Toblach in South Tyrol , Italy , which has been run full-time since 1987. It has around 500 m² of usable space including a children's area, a feel-good area and a panoramic terrace. It therefore also sees itself as an adventure library.
history
Originally the Hans Glauber library was located in the center of Alt-Toblach. Since 2010 it has been located, together with the kindergarten, in a modern building complex next to the Dobbiaco Middle School. Since then it bears the name of the ecologist and founder of the “Toblach Conversations”, Hans Glauber . In 2006, the Hans Glauber library received its first quality certificate as part of the South Tyrolean quality assurance system for public libraries. As a result, it also passed the repeat audits in 2009 and 2012.
