Digital Reading Worlds Up Close: The Digital Consultation in Jena
Those who work with E-readers, Onleihe, or the research portal Genios know the small moment of uncertainty when technology meets literature. This is where the digital consultation of the Ernst-Abbe Library Jena comes in: a low-threshold, free advisory service in the city center that guides readers safely through the digital library world. The event takes place on Wednesday, 09.09.2026, at 14:00 in the Ernst-Abbe Library at Engelplatz 2.

A Place for Reading Promotion and Digital Orientation
The Ernst-Abbe Library sees itself as an educational and cultural center with a wide range of media and a clear mission: promoting reading, participation, and orientation in the digital everyday life. In the library, Onleihe, online catalog, Genios, and other digital offers are available, opening access to e-books, audio media, and research tools. Especially for people who today read literature not only on paper but also on the display, a practical and personal consulting experience is created here.

Personal Help Instead of Technical Hurdles
The digital consultation is aimed at anyone who has questions about E-readers, Onleihe, or Genios. Registration is required in advance by phone or email during opening hours. The service is free of charge, making it particularly attractive for those who want to use digital media for the first time or deepen their knowledge. The format is deliberately approachable: no big stage, but focused consultations in a quiet reading atmosphere.

The Atmosphere of the Ernst-Abbe Library
The venue itself supports the open character of the consultation. The Ernst-Abbe Library at Engelplatz 2 is barrier-free accessible, offers free Wi-Fi, self-checkout, water dispensers, and 24-hour returns. The building also features comfortable areas for reading and working, including a salon and an event hall with space for 80 people. This transforms a technical consultation into a literary experience in a broader sense: close to the people, close to the media, close to the present.
