From reading room to favourite place: record number of visitors in spring 2026

The university library is more vibrant than ever: by the end of February 2026, it had already welcomed over 110.000 visitors. The busiest day so far was 10th of February 2026, with 3.545 users. So, anyone who thinks this is just a place for paper has clearly not been here for a long time. Ideas are born in state-of-the-art rooms, projects grow on swings, and thoughts mature through exchange. The former storage space has long since become a place for thinking, a favourite spot and a meeting place all at once. After a thorough spring clean with numerous small modernisations in March 2026, it is ready to be embraced by even more enthusiasts as the ‘place to be’ just in time for the start of the semester.
