The Austrian National Library is a place that welcomes everyone. We strive to create a safe environment that encourages everyone to use our facilities as places of learning and research. We actively oppose discrimination and promote a culture of openness and respect. Diversity is not a mere buzzword for us, but a lived reality that we promote in all areas of our organisation. We are convinced that inclusion is necessary to make museums and libraries accessible to everyone. That is why we are continuously working to break down barriers and create an inclusive working environment.
