Municipal public libraries provide published information. They are part of the education system and serve school, vocational, general and cultural education. They teach media and information literacy and provide special support to promote reading among children and young people. In addition to providing literature in foreign languages, intercultural events (e.g. readings) also take place. The library offers a variety of resources such as books, newspapers/magazines, sheet music, maps, audio books, CDs, DVDs, CD-ROMs, Blu-ray discs and online media.
