When reading becomes an author encounter
Those seeking literary quality will find here more than just a simple book presentation.

The Helene-Petrenz Hall in the Ernst-Abbe-Library provides the perfect setting for a concentrated reading atmosphere. The barrier-free accessible library creates an open, approachable place for literary communication.
