On February 4, 2025, our large reading room on level 2 will be closed from 8.00 am to 1.00 pm.
The reason for this temporary closure of the reading room is an internal event of the University of Klagenfurt.

Our other reading rooms & services remain available to you as usual.
We kindly ask for your understanding and apologize for any upcoming inconvenience.
As usual, we offer students and external users the possibility to take out several open-shelf books for a longer period:

We are opening our SILENT READING ROOM on level 3 (central wing, east side) for concentrated studying and working in the library.
As a deliberate counterpoint to the non-rest area on level 2, we have opted for an open-plan but enclosed room-within-a-room solution that offers you a silent environment for focused study, research and writing in separate individual cubicles. In addition, unlike the quiet areas in the cube, there is no distracting background noise in the SILENT READING ROOM caused by training courses, conversations at the information desk or the automatic doors.
We look forward to your visit to our new SILENT READING ROOM!
