Noticeboard: Library
Amberg Library: 24-hours access
Concerns/Category:
The entrance door to the library faces east and is made of metal. For this reason, the material heats up very much in the sunshine and the contact in the closing mechanism no longer works properly as the metal warps easily.
Simple solution: When you are in the airlock, simply pull the entrance door slightly towards you. This restores the contact and you can enter the library as usual.
