The library hosts several events, including exhibitions, literary evenings, storytelling hours, creative workshops, and book clubs. Due to the proximity of the Italian border, it welcomes a growing number of foreign visitors. A local collection is featured and maintained with special care and pride. The library participates in dLib.si and Kamra.si digital collections.
Cross-border cooperation
Cross-border cooperation is stimulated by way of various joint projects; the library, for instance, participates in the project Primorci beremo ("The Primorska Region Reads"), which joins libraries of the Primorska region and some in the Italian border region. It is an important part of the Alps-Adriatic libraries network, cooperating with libraries in Gorizia and Udine. This collaboration resulted in the joint project Film v knjižnici ("Film in Library"), during which a collection of acclaimed film titles was set up, which can now be viewed in the video room.
