New opening of the district library in the Vita-Center on 5 November
The district library in the Vita-Center will open its doors in a new ambience and with an expanded service on Monday, 5 November from 10 am.
The largest branch of the city library was located in the "Play & Fun" area of the "Vita-Center" for 20 years. The planned conversion of this part of the building by the centre management necessitated a new location for the facility, which is now at ground level, barrier-free and easily accessible at the entrance to the shopping mall.
Visitors can look forward to an additional opening day. From November, the district library will also be open every Wednesday from 2pm to 6pm. In line with customer wishes, great importance was attached to improving the quality of the library experience. There is a new, spacious work zone for schoolchildren and cosy reading areas with a new sofa in the crime novel corner.
The tried and tested library service is of course still available. Around 24,000 media, books, CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, board, computer and console games, newspapers, e-media and the Internet - the entire range of media is available for borrowing. Requested media from the library network are delivered by courier to the respective branch. Readings, lectures and educational library events, especially for schools, day-care centres and after-school care centres, complete the range of services on offer.
The depot for the exchange stock of the book bus has also moved to the Vita Centre. At the same time, the bus now has a permanent parking space behind the shopping centre again. Renovation work at the previous location, Hans Sager Primary School, made the move necessary.
