We will be offering an extensive programme of events at our locations in Leipzig and Frankfurt am Main to accompany the book fairs. The German National Library will not have a stand at the trade fairs this year.

The next Leipzig Book Fair will take place from 27 to 30 March 2025.

Come to the events we will be holding for "Leipzig Reads" and visit the exhibitions at the German Museum of Books and Writing and the German Music Archive. Join us on our guided tours of the library and exhibitions in our building on Deutscher Platz in Leipzig.
