Nuremberg’s South District Library Transforms into a Barrier-Free Reading Café
Nuremberg’s South District Library is set to move to a new, centrally located site in Südstadt. The city administration has opened a barrier-free Reading Café as part of the City Library, now operating as an 'Open Library' with 72 hours of weekly access. The project aims to create a modern space for reading, learning, and community interaction.
The relocation comes after the current library’s shopping centre location fell into disrepair. The FDP/FREE VOTERS faction proposed transforming the facility into a reading café, blending educational services with a social hub. Their vision includes a low-threshold café serving drinks and snacks while maintaining the library’s nonprofit and educational focus.
The new Reading Café is already open, offering extended hours and barrier-free access. The city will now evaluate its operation and potential partnerships. If the concept proves viable, it could reshape how libraries serve neighbourhoods across Nuremberg.
