We are rebuilding for you!
In summer 2025, there will be some construction work at the library:
A new access control system will be installed in the entrance area on level 1 and a room for the Ingeborg Bachmann Library will be built on level 2. In principle, the library remains open!
Please note the following measures that have to be taken due to the construction work:
Calendar week 30:
Level 1 – Closure of the main entrance of the library as well as deactivation of the 24/7 library from July 21 to 27. During this period, please use the alternative access to the library on level 0 (delivery entrance, opposite mailroom) during opening hours.
Calendar week 29-31:
Level 2 – Closure of the large reading room Z.2.10 from July 14 to August 3. During this time, please use our other reading rooms in the cube area or on level 3. If you need media from the closed reading room, please contact the library staff at the desks.
All other library services are available as usual.
