The Reading Room at basis is a non-lending library offering a broad selection of international art magazines, catalogues, and select literature on art, culture, society, and criticism to the public. Publishers and concept bookstores are also invited to contribute thematically relevant literature.

In addition to the publications on offer and parallel to the exhibition program a wide range of events connected with art, culture, society, and criticism are also presented in the Reading Room. Events and projects are either independent or connected to a particular exhibition context. This layering of contents facilitates a thematic broadening and deepening of some of the more compelling subject areas within the cultural and art contexts. Readings, presentations, artist talks, discussions, self-publishing projects, and screenings round off the thematic program of the Reading Room.
