Kunstbibliothek Berlin

4 Christina Mains - 5 years ago

Don't let the name fool you - lassen Sie sich vom Namen nicht täuschen. You don't have to be an art student or fan of art to use the library, although it might be helpful. A Benutzerausweis (user ID) is free and the library is open most days from 9-20 Uhr. It's fairly quiet and the location is nice, tucked away from Potsdamer Platz across from the Berlin Philharmonic and the more serious Staatsbibliothek. I currently am using the library as my quiet dissertation writing workspace, but there are plenty of books and journals to peruse in the Lesesaal. The staff is friendly, there are coffee and snack machines in the lounge, you can lock your things in a locker (although there aren't many and some are broken) or hand your things over to the free coat check (Garderobe). Because it is part of the Kulturforum, you can wander into the Mensa for a proper lunch if you are so inclined. I have yet to do it but it's an option. There certainly are plenty of librarians should you need help and the Wifi here is free. I could keep listing positive things about it, but then maybe it will get more crowded!

(Translated by Google) There are many books here that you can't get anywhere else, as well as a work area where you can really work in peace. Unfortunately, the opening times are somewhat limited, so it is not possible to work late into the evening. Apart from that, a very high quality library with friendly and competent staff.

(Original)
Hier gibt es viele Bücher, die man woanders nicht bekommt, sowie einen Arbeitsbereich, an dem man auch wirklich in Ruhe arbeiten kann. Leider sind die Öffnungszeiten etwas beschränkt, sodass es etwa nicht möglich ist, später in den Abend hineinzuarbeiten. Davon abgesehen eine sehr hochwertige Bibliothek mit freundlichem und kompetenten Personal.

(Translated by Google) Very good collection point for specialist literature, but the opening times do not allow late entry after your own work.

(Original)
Sehr guter Sammelplatz für Fachliteratur jedoch die Öffnungszeiten lassen einen späten Eintritt nach der eigenen Arbeit nicht zu.
