Support programs

The Saxon State Office provides comprehensive advice to public libraries on current funding opportunities. We have compiled the most important information and contact details for the current programs here.

Saxon Cultural Area Act

Through the Saxon Cultural Area Act, the Free State offers its cultural institutions - and thus also the public libraries - a funding opportunity to be applied for annually. Each cultural area develops its own criteria for the allocation of funds.

The regional office advises the cultural area secretariats and library working groups or sections of the rural cultural areas on behalf of the state.
