Your Support Is Our Mission

About Us

When the former University of Applied Sciences Liechtenstein moved into the old Spoerry textile factory in Vaduz, the library, alongside the cafeteria, took up its post in the glass annex in 2003.

A milestone in media provision was reached in 2024 with the library’s integration into the world’s largest library network, SLSP (Swiss Library Service Platform). This gives users access to around 40 million media items from 500 Swiss libraries.

Despite all transformations, the library remains a powerful provider of literature and knowledge for university members and external users from Liechtenstein, Switzerland, and the surrounding region of Austria, for study, research, and continuing education.
