History
Reading rooms played an important role in Slovene history and made an indelible contribution to the preservation and enrichment of Slovene culture. The opening of the reading room in Graz is no coincidence, as the city exerted a profound influence on Slovene culture, society, and education in the past. As early as 1810 Janez Nepomuk Primic founded in Graz the society of Slovene students Societas slovenica, and the following year the world’s first Slovenian chair at the Graz Lyceum (earlier and later the University of Graz) was established. Graz became in the 19th century an important centre for Slovenian studies, headed by such prominent scholars and professors as Gregor Krek, Karel Štrekelj, Matija Murko, Rajko Nahtigal, and Vatroslav Oblak. Eventually, the Slovene Reading Room was established in 2013 due to the efforts of the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia Vienna and the then Ambassador Aleksander Geržina, and Christoph Binder, Director of the Styria regional library, the Steiermärkische Landesbibliothek.
