Since the end of the 2023\/24 winter semester, the Library of Sports Sciences has proved very popular among users thanks to its inviting and attractive new interior design, appealing furniture, open-access book collection, self-checkout machines, and other services. The redesign of this learning space and the improved borrowing options have clearly been very well received. The positive feedback quickly came to include the desire for extended opening hours. With existing staffing levels, the library could be open Monday to Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Having had considered opening hours during the renovation and redesign phase, the library team developed an \u201cOpen Library\u201d concept during the 2024 summer semester in close coordination with and supported by the University Library’s Building and Property Management, Fire and Occupational Safety Services, and IT Services Departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOpen Library\u201d refers to libraries that are open during certain times without staff present. The first \u201cOpen Library\u201d opened in Singapore in 2002, and the first one in Germany followed in 2014. For the Sports Library, this meant that during an initial trial phase lasting throughout the 2024\/25 winter semester lecture period, it was open Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., but staff were only present from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To obtain reliable user feedback, the library team conducted an on-site survey in January 2025. The satisfaction expressed with the extended hours led to the continuation of the \u201cOpen Library\u201d project and a further extension of opening hours. Since February 24, 2025, the Sports Library has been open year-round from Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. As quickly became clear to all involved, an \u201cOpen Library\u201d can only function if all users and staff act responsibly and show mutual consideration \u2013 a spirit the library team hopes to preserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
