Zentralbibliothek

Three floors roughly ten minutes on foot behind the Hauptbahnhof, and the largest of the public Bücherhallen: books, specialist and hobby literature, DVDs and Blu-rays, audiobooks, and a children's library with picture books in a long list of languages. It is the branch that runs Monday to Saturday, when much of the rest of the network does not. Lockers are in the entrance area, so a bag does not have to go upstairs with you. The children's library has its own line, 040 4 26 06-206, worth using to check a session time before travelling in.
