Forest Library - Book Den
In 2024, a forest library, which we named after, came to life in the Tree House, located in the City Forest in Celje. Book den.
It contains around 100 books, which we have jointly selected from the Celje Central Library and the Celje Forest Institute. The books can be read in the treehouse or borrowed to take home. We ask all readers to return borrowed books to the Book Lair.
