As someone who visits the library twice or thrice a month, I enjoy its peaceful atmosphere and wide range of books and media. The helpful staff speeds up my search for resources, which is crucial for my dissertations, German exams, and teaching projects. Additionally, I like to join in on the fun at festive events and regular activities like "Spielzeit".
