Library and Corona
Due to the current requirements of the state of NRW and the Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences, it is possible to visit the library without a GGG certificate.
Despite the relaxation at federal and state level, we still recommend that our users implement the well-known Corona protection measures such as wearing a mask and keeping their distance from each other.
We look forward to seeing you!
