Shared Reading and Discussion at Dornbirn City Library

Shared Reading invites you to experience literature in a special way: texts are read aloud and unfold their effect in a protected space for the participants. Without any prior knowledge, they can let the words resonate within them, share thoughts, or simply listen—across cultural, social, and age boundaries. World literature thus becomes a bridge to encounter oneself and others.

The format creates a place of enrichment and exchange, as literary critic Anne-Dore Krohn describes it: ‘Down-to-earth, without losing touch.’ Whether actively joining the conversation or quietly listening—everyone is welcome. The free offering by Dornbirn City Library requires no registration.
