MensaCard

  • On the ground floor (in the cube on the right) there are over 250 lockers that can be operated with a MensaCard.

    MensaCards can still be loaded in the foyer of Grimm-Zentrum (machine at the cube on the right).

Bags

Clear library plastic bags can be purchased from the stationery machine in the lobby of the Grimm-Zentrum behind the cafeteria. You can also bring your own transparent bag.

For information about lockers at our various branch libraries please check the respective sites.
