Stay a little longer! Exhibitions and Events

As a third place, the SLUB is not only a space for learning, working and participatory experimentation, but also provides witty and entertaining experiences in the evenings. Throughout the year, our diverse programme of events regularly invites you to join in with the discussions, reflections and enjoyment. We look forward to seeing you there! Our collection contains far more than just historical books and writings. We therefore offer glimpses into the SLUB's extensive and unique collection in a varity of changing exhibitions.
