The Liechtensteinische Landesbibliothek, established as a foundation under public law in 1961, is the National Library of the Principality of Liechtenstein and as such, its legislative mandate is to collect all publications originating in Liechtenstein, authored by citizens of Liechtenstein, or dealing with Liechtenstein as a subject matter.
The Landesbibliothek is also a research library supporting researchers, students, and other scholars in their knowledge work. It serves not only as a hub for international inter library lending, but also as a provider of workspace and infrastructure as well as academic media, databases, etc.
It is also the largest public library in Liechtenstein and the surrounding Rhine Valley region and as such makes an important contribution to Liechtenstein as a centre of knowledge as well as to reading culture and knowledge work in general.
The Stiftung Fürstl. Kommerzienrat Guido Feger has donated a valuable collection of documents, letters and papers relating to “Atemkristall” to the Liechtenstein National Library. This comprises a cycle of poems by Paul Celan accompanied by eight etchings by Gisèle Celan-Lestrange, which was published in 1965 in a small print run by Robert Altmann’s Edition Brunidor.
