On the last day of the Congress, Friday, 22 August, we’re offering two types of library visits to sign up for:
Walking library tours
All Conference delegates are welcome to sign up for these free guided tours at the Library Tours counter in Astana’s Congress Centre entrance area.
The walking tours include libraries within a 20- to 30-minute walking radius of the meeting point. Please note that on-site registration is required to take part in the walking library tours.
Half-day library tours
Are you interested in exploring libraries beyond the Conference’s close vicinity? We have you covered with our half-day library tours, but availability is limited, so register online today via the registration form!
Transportation is provided for these tours; therefore, participants will be charged a minimal fee to cover costs.
For more details on all libraries listed for visits, please see the Library Visits overview.
