Open Library now also in Vegesack
In Vegesack, our library is now open outside of regular opening hours. This concept, called Open Library , has been successfully implemented in the Vahr branch library since 2019 and is now being offered in Bremen's north as well
Customers aged 18 and over can scan their BIBCARD at an access terminal by the entrance and enter the library during the extended opening hours. During Open Library hours, they can use the library on a self-service basis: borrowing and returning materials, using computer workstations, and using the library for reading, studying, or playing games.
Shortly before the end of Open Library hours, customers are asked to leave the library via automated loudspeaker announcements. Some time after Open Library hours have ended, the lights are automatically switched off, the entrance door is automatically locked, and the alarm system is activated.
Initially, the open library Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 6 pm to 8 pm . An expansion of the service is planned soon.
