More than 1.029.000 visitors were visiting the city libraries in Leipzig in 2016 and were lending 4.684.000 items. The reconstruction of the district library in Plagwitz caused a slight decrease of 240.000 borrowings.
The number of online visits is still growing. New and improved online services helped to reach 2.7 million visits, 300.000 more than 2015.
83 percent of the citizens with migration background know the city libraries and 9 out of 10 are visiting our locations. That proves the high intercultural relevance of the Leipziger Städtische Bibliotheken (LSB).
With the help of our partners and public institutions the LSB were hosting about 1.560 events with 42.000 visitors.
