Readings & Events

From October to April, our library repeatedly turns into a small literary meeting place for an evening.

Readings in the library

In the cold season, we invite guests to readings in our library — surrounded by books, over a glass of wine and good conversation afterwards. The atmosphere is deliberately small and personal rather than big and anonymous.

For Literature Club members

Members of our Literature Club receive a 20% discount on admission to our readings. Signing up for the Literature Club is free and takes only a few seconds.
