Libraries in the city of Salzburg

Libraries are an essential addition to any knowledge landscape and a large number allows direct conclusions to be drawn on a differentiated, wide range of knowledge-providing institutions. In Salzburg there are at least 31 publicly accessible libraries and media libraries, as well as various non-public facilities accessible to a certain circle, such as libraries in schools, senior institutions and hospitals. In addition, there will be other libraries that could not be recorded as part of this research, because they exist — similar to the archives — as an infrastructural offer within organisations and associations. In addition to the major providers of the city:library and university library, there are also a variety of local utilities such as parish libraries. These offers are especially important for mobility-restricted groups such as seniors and children. Often, the range of books is complemented by an offer of games. Especially in the scientific field Salzburg offers a wide variety of special libraries.
