8 May 2026: Information on use during the FNI conference
The ‘10th International Conference of Frühe Neuzeit Interdisziplinär (FNI)’ will take place from 20 to 22 May 2026. During this period, various areas of the library will be in use simultaneously, and the Zeughaus Hall will also serve as a conference venue.
To ensure that conference guests and all other users continue to have access to the open-access collections and the reading room in the Zeughaus, the Zeughaus will remain open as usual from 9 am to 6 pm during the conference.
Due to the lectures taking place, we recommend that users seeking a quiet place to work make use of the work tables in the open-access collections on the first and second floors or the reading room.
During events, we ask for your consideration and request that you keep the hall as quiet as possible.
