We offer users with mental disabilities not only an extensive collection of printed books, audiobooks, music CDs, board games and magazines, but also the opportunity to work on the computer and access to the Internet.

Unfortunately, our library is not wheelchair accessible. However, to physically handicapped readers and users we offer individual assistance of librarians who are willing to answer any questions, but also to assist disabled readers in borrowing documents or accessing the Internet if necessary.

You will find a bell before entering the main building, on the right side of the front door. With this bell you will call a librarian who will continue to help you with registration, catalogue search or ordering. It is also possible to call and arrange a specific date and time of the visit.
