Great explosions

Die Bayerische Staatsbibliothek ist schlicht beeindruckend: über 10 Millionen Bücher, eine Weltklasse-Sammlung historischer Drucke und Manuskripte – eine Schatzkammer für Forschende und Neugierige. Die Architektur spricht Geschichte, und dennoch laden moderne Arbeitsplätze zum Verweilen ein. Hier fühlt man, wie Bildung lebendig wird.

Viele Plätze und lange Öffnungszeiten. Die Sitzplatzreservierung wurde abgeschafft, wodurch sich eine bessere Auslastung der vorhandenen Sitzplatzkapazität ergibt und somit mehr "freie" Plätze zur Verfügung stehen. Zuvor waren immer viele Plätze "reserviert" aber ungenutzt. Jetzt finde ich ist es einfacher gefunden, auch noch spontan einen Platz zu finden.
