WORKSTATIONS HEINRICH-VON-BIBRA-PLATZ
At the Heinrich-von-Bibra-Platz location, there are various places to study and work. There are desks that are suitable for quiet individual work and places where you can work in a group. It is not possible to reserve workstations.
Please note that the HLSBs library regulations apply at all workstations and that playing loud music or films and making phone calls are not permitted. This also applies to video conferencing. However, talking to each other is not a problem as long as other library users are not disturbed.
The reading room is located on the 1st floor. You can reach it via the staircase immediately to the right of the entrance or via the lift next to the automatic pay station.
The reading room was refurnished at the end of 2024 to meet the needs of the HLSBs various user groups. It is no longer a quiet study room where people are not allowed to talk. However, as everywhere in the library, everyone must be considerate of each other.
