Library visit rules - September 2020

 


 What you are allowed and what you are not


   You can visit the Library -  but by appointment only !

                                               but only if you are older than 13 and younger than 60

                                               but only in case you are not pregnant 


  You can borrow books -  but  only in case you had requested  the books

                                            two working days before your booked visit

                                            no one will be allowed to the shelves !


 You can go with friends - but no more than ten people in a group allowed .


 You can eat and drink in the Library - there is an open cafe  and vending machines

                                                                 are also working


  Things that I do not understand : 1 . why we are not allowed to the shelves when in the supermarkets we can touch a product ?

                                                         2 . why we are not allowed to book by phone ?

                                                         3 . why a large part of the Library is closed? This way  the visitors will be more concentrated  in the central hall .


  What do you think about those safety measures ?
