It's the final Countdown – the Library is moving out
Some of the books will move to the Emil-Figge-Bibliothek, and some to the new Sebrath-Bibliothek in the Technology Park, which opens on August 21. The majority of the books will gradually be moved to a storage magazine. In catalog plus you can find the individual book locations. Books housed at any of the four library locations can be borrowed directly on site (except reference collection). All ordered media can be collected at the Emil-Figge-Bibliothek.
