Beim Blogstöbern bin ich auf einen bereits älteren Eintrag aus dem Blog William’s Continued Adventures gestoßen, irgendwie nett:

"Don’t bother looking for a Bibliothek in Wien. You won’t find one.

If, however, you are in the know, you will realize that in Austria, a Bibliothek is called a Bücherei.

What a language.

Anyway, as Thomas Jefferson was reported to have said (in Civilization IV), “I cannot live without books.” As such, I was excited to discover that Vienna has quite a well-equipped Bücherei at the public’s disposal. Soon, I will get a library card (which costs a hefty 18€/year), and the world will be my oyster."
