Extended Sunday Hours at Dusseldorf's Central Library
In an exciting development for book lovers and city residents, several libraries in Dusseldorf will extend their Sunday operating hours from January 2025. The Central Library at Konrad Adenauer Platz (KAP1) will lead the way, opening its doors from 11:00 to 18:00 every Sunday.
This change is part of a successful Sunday opening model that has proven popular among visitors. Approximately 3,000 people visit the Central Library every Sunday, with many working Dusseldorf residents using it as a 'living room' in the city.
The extended hours will also apply on holidays when the Central Library is open. Four additional libraries in Dusseldorf - Bilk, Eller, and Unterbach, in addition to the Central Library - will also be open on Sundays, offering services from 11:00 to 18:00, 13:00 to 18:00, and 11:00 to 18:00 respectively.
Security personnel will be present during opening hours at KAP1, Bilk, and Eller libraries, ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for all visitors. Access to the Unterbach library on Sundays requires a library card.
Visitors can browse books, read magazines, or use other services in peace on Sundays at these libraries. The Sunday visitors are primarily families with young children or young adults aged 15 to 25. More events are being offered on Sundays at the Central Library since the fall.
It's worth noting that there is no staff consultation on Sundays at any of these libraries. Despite this, the majority of visitors appreciate the opportunity to use these libraries on weekends.
The decision to extend the Sunday opening hours of the central library at Konrad Adenauer Platz on January 5, 2025, from 11:00 to 18:00 remains unattributed to specific persons or institutions at this time. However, the success of the Sunday opening model speaks for itself, and it's clear that this change is a step towards making library services more accessible to the community.
In conclusion, the extended Sunday operating hours for several Dusseldorf libraries starting in January 2025 will provide a valuable resource for residents and visitors alike, offering a quiet, welcoming space for reading, learning, and community engagement.
