Burgenland's libraries on the upswing: future plans and new funding!

7000 Eisenstadt, Landhaus, Europaplatz 1, Österreich - In Burgenland, the promotion of libraries is massively promoted! A total of 64 libraries are available to inspire the bookworms with a wide range of media and exciting events. The "Library Development Plan for Burgenland 2021–2025" aims to significantly improve the infrastructure of this cultural treasury and is advocated by Governor Hans Peter Doskozil. The plan, which is located in the last year of implementation, was developed in an intensive process with the Landesverband Burgenland and has numerous funding measures that can already be applied for, as on the Landes Burgenland Reported.

The numbers speak for themselves: Last year, 13,000 users used the offers of libraries, which means over 340,000 media downloads! In addition, there is now the newly created library service at the Mattersburg KUZ, which is a central point of contact for public libraries in Burgenland. This new institution will not only advise and support the libraries, but also promote networking within the Burgenland cultural and educational landscape, as the report by burgenland.orf . The initiative is also intended to increase the number of employees employed, which is of great importance for the future development of these facilities.

funding measures in focus

For the following years, applications for library funding have already started, and interested parties can download the corresponding forms directly from the state website. The aim of these funding is to further open access to information and literature for the citizens of the Burgenland. The positive development of the libraries is an important step to promote cultural education and to increase the enthusiasm for books and knowledge!
