Literature 

Readings and literature days, the constantly growing number of publications, and Liechtenstein's annual participation in the Frankfurt Book Fair testify to the rich literary life in Liechtenstein.

The Literaturhaus in Triesen is a unique platform. The goal of the association is to promote and present contemporary literature in Standard German and in dialect.

The National Library is at least as important for the literary life in Liechtenstein. The Liechtenstein National Library combines three types of library: State library, scientific library, and popular library. As State library, it is the center for the collection and documentation of texts on Liechtenstein as a nation. As a scientific library, it houses specialized literature, and obtains and communicates information from abroad. As a popular library, it provides all segments of the population and all age groups with access to quality media for educational, entertainment, and meaningful recreational purposes.

In addition to these two institutions, the Liechtenstein PEN Club was already founded back in 1978; in accordance with the international orientation of the Principality of Liechtenstein, its aim is to act as a catalyst for literary development beyond the boundaries of the country.
