The Long Night of Libraries Returns for a Fourth Edition

Get ready for an exciting night filled with education, community, and vibrant library experiences! On April 25th, over 130 Austrian libraries near me will participate in the fourth edition of the Long Night of Libraries. This much-anticipated event, organised by the Austrian Library Association (Österreichischer Bibliothekenverband), aims to celebrate the importance of libraries in our communities and showcase them as dynamic spaces for all ages.

With record-breaking attendance expected, this year's Long Night of Libraries promises to be an unforgettable event. Over 8,000 guests are anticipated to take part in the various activities planned for the night.

The programme for both adults and children includes creative activities such as readings, lantern walks, and children's activities, ensuring there's something for everyone. The goal is to strengthen communities, promote the significance of libraries, and highlight their role as hubs for learning and entertainment.

In addition to extended library hours, the Long Night of Libraries will see libraries near me staying open late into the night, offering a unique opportunity to explore and engage with various libraries across Austria. So, mark your calendars for April 25th and join the celebration of education, community, and the dynamic world of libraries!
