as an Open Library

For everyone at any time Flexible opening hours

Libraries are indispensable as independent places for participation in education and culture. Why should opening hours limit their social relevance and your wide range of offers? With Nex.365 Open Library, a flexible opening hours concept, your library can welcome new members of your community beyond the staff-supported service hours as a meeting space, or a place of inspiration.
