The Graz City Library is a public library in the Styrian capital Graz . It sees itself as a center for education, information, culture and entertainment.
history
Public libraries in Austria came into being in the 19th century through educational associations , which were also responsible for public libraries . Some of these libraries in Graz were the Saria library of the Volksbibliothek Association, founded in 1895, and three lending libraries of the Volkslesehalle Association, founded in 1902. On February 15, 1940, these libraries were donated to the City of Graz; the sari library was the main body of the Graz city libraries and the three other libraries were the branches.
Since October 1995 the main office of the city library has been in the listed Zankl-Hof , the former paint and varnish shop of the Zankl & Co. company from the 1890s.
Locations
In addition to the main office, the Graz City Library has six branches, a media library and a book bus with 25 stops in 10 Graz city districts, of which ten school locations are served. There is also a delivery service in cooperation with all Graz post offices.
