Unveiled: Public Resource Center for Books and Literature
The Neighborhood Library Lechhausen in Germany has introduced Open Library hours, allowing visitors aged 18 and above with a valid library card to access the library beyond its regular opening hours.
During Open Library hours, library-goers can enjoy a range of services, including internet access and the opportunity to read, borrow, and return media. However, it's important to note that no specific information is provided about what constitutes "media" in this context.
One significant aspect of the Open Library is the safety measures in place. Emergency exit plans are clearly displayed on site, ensuring the wellbeing of all visitors.
However, there are some restrictions during Open Library hours. Registrations are not possible, and unauthorized persons are not allowed to enter the library. Children and young people can only enter the library during these hours if accompanied by an adult with a valid library card.
It's also worth mentioning that usage of library resources during Open Library hours is at one's own risk.
Open Library hours are currently provided at the Neighborhood Library Lechhausen, but the exact times and days vary. No specific information is given about these hours, so it's recommended to check locally for the most up-to-date schedule.
Interestingly, the expansion of Open Library hours to other locations is planned. Other libraries in the area, such as the University Library Augsburg, already offer extended borrowing times, with the library open until 19:00 on weekdays and Saturdays from 10:00 to 14:00.
For those living in the Lechhausen district, the Open Library offers a convenient way to access library resources outside of normal opening hours, making it easier for more people to benefit from the library's services.
