Your benefits when booking a venue at the Austrian National Library:
As an additional highlight to mark your special day, you can tie the knot for eternity as a bridal couple through a work conserved at the Austrian National Library by becoming a book sponsor. Together we will select a suitable object from our holdings, such as a special book, a map of the country where you first travelled together, a papyrus or musical autograph reminding you of a particular moment: there are no limits to ideas.
You will receive a certificate of honour confirming your sponsorship, and a personal bookplate with your names will be inserted in the chosen object — for all times. With a book sponsorship, you also contribute to the restoration and conservation of more then twelve million objects conserved at the Austrian National Library.
As you make a one-time donation (starting at 1,000 euros for individual research), your sponsorship will last forever. This could probably be put on your wedding list, or you can make a gift to yourselves.
