The mobile book depot in Schillerplatz has become the temporary home of a library and will be given a new “purpose in life” through a collection of books and events that speak to Linzers and their many cultures.

Now that the adaptation of OÖ. Landesbibliothek has been completed, the former book depot is free to serve a new function: Linzers with an immigration background – and that means almost a quarter of its inhabitants – are invited to donate books and other material in their mother tongue. This linguistic treasure hoard enshrines the immigrants’ cultural links to their countries of origin, reflects today’s reading habits and allows insights into other lifeworlds. The temporary library will be a place where living cultures meet and interact. A sideshow of cultural events with a special emphasis on children and young people will be organised in association with Linz’s (linguistic) minority communities
