Laško Public Library exterior, 2006
While the roots of public librarianship in Laško go as far back as 1869, when a national reading room was established, the Laško Public Library was founded in 1974. The library runs branches in Radeče, and Rimske Toplice, as well as movable book collections in Jurklošter, Šentrupert, and Zidani Most. In addition to housing a reading room, it maintains a local collection department with books, documents, and other material on the region. For adult library-goers, staff organise literary evenings, a wide spectrum of lectures, and exhibitions, whereas younger members can attend story-telling hours, creative workshops, puppet shows, and meetings with authors.

Murska Sobota Regional and Study Library, 2009
The Murska Sobota Regional and Study Library functions as the regional library for the Pomurje region. Though officially established in 1973 following the merger of the public and the study libraries, its beginnings pre-date World War II. The 4,000 square-metre premises feature a 120-seat reading room and function both as a library and as a multimedia information centre. In addition to lending book and other material, the library also holds story-telling hours, creative workshops, literary evenings, exhibitions, books clubs (in the library and nursing homes), lectures, and participates in organising the Eye of the Word Festival. It houses two important collections: a local collection comprising rare books hailing mostly from the 18th and 19th centuries, and one of the richest collections of Hungarian books in Slovenia, which is perennially updated with new titles. Their mobile library pays visits to 12 Slovene municipalities and the neighbouring Porabje region in Hungary.
