The Upper Lusatian Library of Sciences (Upper Sorbian: Hornjołužiska bibloteka wědomosćow) contains about 150,000 volumes, making it the largest library in Görlitz and the most important regional library between Dresden and Wrocław. Cornered between Germany, Poland and Czech Republic and therefore looking back on a rich history, its goal is to provide historical research and enhance knowledge transfer in the region.
