“A library in a housing complex?” you might wonder. Here at the Bücherrei Großfeldsiedlung, that’s exactly what we have. This branch of Vienna’s public library system is nestled within the Großfeldsiedlung housing development, in Vienna’s 21st district. Bücherrei Großfeldsiedlung is more than just bookshelves. It’s a community hub. It represents the city’s commitment to accessible education for everyone. The Vienna City Libraries, or “Büchereien Wien,” have a rich history. They emerged from the ashes of World War II. Many of the original Arbeiterbüchereien (workers’ libraries) were destroyed. The city rebuilt and expanded, bringing books and culture to the people in their homes. Bücherrei Großfeldsiedlung, along with 38 other branches, carries on this tradition. The main library, a striking ship-shaped structure at Urban-Loritz-Platz, holds a massive collection. However, each branch like this one has its own character and focus. Bücherrei Großfeldsiedlung is housed in the Haus der Begegnung (House of Meeting). It shares the space with an adult education center and archive. This library prioritizes materials for leisure and entertainment. You’ll find current fiction, non-fiction, and magazines. It also boasts a growing collection of CDs, DVDs, and audiobooks. Two computer workstations are also available. This location reflects the library system’s evolution. From the early “over-the-counter” system to the open shelves we browse today, libraries have adapted to the times. The Bücherrei Großfeldsiedlung, with its curated selection and community focus, exemplifies this adaptation. It invites you to discover a world of stories within the heart of a vibrant community.
