Birthday celebration of the ALG with bar service. An open house evening for the public! Free admission (excluding consumption). Featuring live music, light projection, and a large selection of recommended books. Here is our detailed offer: Klang: Ilze Grudule and Vincent Flückiger, both professional musicians, fill the reading society in various rooms with the sounds of cello, lute, and guitar. In a moodful exchange of calm, conversation, and music, the entire house is harmoniously played... Licht: In the large reading room, an installation by the artist duo Ivana and Klaus Suppan enchants the ceiling again with moving, colorful, atmospheric light patterns, while the autumn night slowly sets in... Wort: The library is exceptionally open in the evening hours. A special display introduces you to the personal book recommendations of our commission and staff... And for once, you can enjoy your reading with a glass of wine, tea, whisky, berry juice, or grappa! The bar service "Zum Kuss" offers a wider selection of drinks and food! We warmly invite you to spend a convivial, contemplative, and stimulating time with us! Perhaps take this opportunity to also show your relatives our beautiful house?
