An original outdoor reading project, intended for the general public, brings equipment and books each year to green corners of towns and cities, inviting people throughout the summer to read, browse, and relax under the trees.

The 22nd edition of Library Under the Treetops is just around the corner, bringing free reading islands to 8 locations in Ljubljana and 13 other towns and cities across Slovenia and in neighbouring regions.
