Protest against shorter opening hours and closures of branch libraries
26.04. 06:00 p.m.; Schlossplatz

Since April 3rd, the opening hours in more than 20 branch libraries in Erlangen's city centre and on the southern campus have been shortened. Two were even completely closed. Student assistants are particularly affected by the job cuts. But it also affects us all, because libraries are not just storage places for books, but also essential work and study areas, as well as meeting places for students. With shorter opening hours, the possibilities of scientific work and the successful preparation of examinations are massively restricted. Even without cuts, the learning places are already limited and often overcrowded. Read more...
