Construction of a silent reading room

We are noisily rebuilding now so that it will be silent later!

 

A silent reading room is being built on the east side of the central wing on level 3 of the University Library.

We will have to close the area following the Karl Popper Archive from 22nd November for the construction work. In addition, increased noise disturbance is to be expected in the entire reading room on level 3.

However, the quiet reading rooms in the cube on levels 2 & 3 will be available as usual and will remain completely unaffected by the renovation work.

 

Our library services will remain unaffected! Our bookshelves on level 3 will remain freely accessible during the construction work.

We kindly ask you for your understanding and apologise for any inconvenience caused by the construction work!

We look forward to the opening of the new silent reading room in the new year!

New chairs in the reading rooms

Our new chairs have arrived – please take a seat!

 

We proudly present the result of the chair casting (spring 2024): As of today, the new chairs can be used in the reading rooms of the UBK.

We would like to thank you once again for your participation in the chair casting and wish you a relaxed and comfortable learning & working experience on the new chairs!
