- Accessibility
- The route to the entrance is smooth, wide and lit, but it has a steep slope, at least four steps and a ramp over six metres long without a landing. The door is heavy and the thresholds are over 2 cm high. Customer service is on the entrance floor, but the reading-dog room and toilet are not described. A dog is present at the event. If a dog allergy, fear of dogs or another individual need affects participation, confirm the arrangements with the library before visiting.
