Don't miss out! 💛🧡❤️
A universe of possibilities. The city's living room. A landmark for learning.
The new Essen Public Library is all this and so much more!
11,000 m². Six floors. Endless inspiration. Right in the heart of Essen!
And what an opening day!
👀Over 10,000 visitors
📚 Nearly 6,600 items borrowed
👩👩👧👦 More than 360 new library members
Really proud to be part of it! Smart and accessible solutions from Nexbib make library life easier, faster and more flexible: from borrowing books and laptops to hassle-free returns, including 24/7 outdoor access.
⚙️ And the real magic? Behind the scenes, an intelligent transport and sorting system keeps everything moving. Kids and grown-ups can even watch it in action in the library's very own "Machine Room"!
Our customised cream-coloured self-service kiosks and intelligent lockers blend beautifully into the stunning interior design.
And with an upcoming concept, there's even more to look forward to!
A huge thank you to everyone who made this visionary library a reality. We're thrilled to be part of the journey! 🙌
