Munich's Stadtbibliothek branches

Map of 20 locations in Munich, Germany

Munich's municipal library system runs on two clocks: the staffed service hours, when someone is behind the counter, and the Open Library hours, when a library card alone unlocks the door and nobody is there to help. Five of the district branches now work that way, and the rest close at 19.00 sharp, which is the single fact that decides whether a trip across town is worth it. Noted here per branch: the exact hours, whether returns are possible around the clock or only when staff are in, and the closures and reduced Saturdays currently posted by the system itself.
