Take a break from studying in a pleasant atmosphere or exchange ideas in small groups: the Library Lounge on the second floor of the Central Library offers a variety of usage scenarios.
The user regulations that apply to the Central Library have been partially lifted for the Library Lounge area: conversations and phone calls are permitted. Vending machines provide hot and cold drinks as well as sweet and savory snacks, which may be consumed on site. It is not permitted to take food and drinks into the Library Lounge or out of the Library Lounge into other reading room areas.
The Library Lounge holds current issues of daily and weekly newspapers as well as popular magazines for reading on site. If you require older issues or would like to access German and international press online, please note the information on newspapers.
As a "library in the library", the Library Lounge offers current, popular literature for browsing on site and for borrowing.
Bestselling books, historical novels, crime novels and a selection of English-language novels are available to borrow on the left-hand side of the shelves. On the right-hand side of the shelves are biographies, non-fiction books, travel guides and advice on various areas of life.
Simply register the books you wish to borrow at the circulation desk on the first floor. The loan period is four weeks. Up to five renewals are possible, provided no reservations have been made.
Further novels and non-fiction books in various languages can be ordered for loan from the closed stacks via the Passau search portal.
