Mediateka / Branch No. 58 - Tadeusz Różewicz Municipal Public Library in Wrocław

The Mediateka is branch no. 58 of the Tadeusz Różewicz Municipal Public Library, located at plac Teatralny in Wrocław. Unlike a classic book-lending library, it focuses on multimedia collections.

Collections and equipment

The branch collects audiobooks, films, music, board games and books in foreign languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian and Ukrainian. Readers can use e-ink readers and a virtual reality headset station. Loans and returns are handled by self-service machines.

Meetings and activities

On Fridays there are computer consultations, and Language Cafe is a series of meetings for conversation in foreign languages. The Mediateka also organises book clubs, author meetings, reading evenings and activities for school groups; its ongoing work is documented in the video blog "Z Mediateki".
