Clock Discs for Your Break Time – Pilot Project at the Main Campus
Starting 16 October 2023, we will launch the pilot project "Clock Discs" at the Branch Library Main Campus. When you temporarily leave your study desk, you must place a clock disc on the table. In case you exceed the maximum allowed break time of 60 minutes, other library visitors may move your belongings aside and use the study desk. Tables without a clock disc can also be occupied anew.
