On Monday, April 8, 2024, the City of Bonn authorities will be investigating the possible site of a Second World War bomb in Bonn-Poppelsdorf, specifically beneath the junction of Wegelerstraße, Beringstraße and Kreuzbergweg. If the presence of a bomb is suspected, a disposal operation will be organized without delay, requiring extensive evacuation measures that would affect large parts of the Poppelsdorf Campus, where the MNL Branch Library is also located. You can find the current status on the webpages of the University of Bonn.

As it is not known if and when the library will be evacuated, please do not leave any personal belongings in the library when you leave the building, e.g. for a break. It cannot be guaranteed that you will be allowed to re-enter the library when you return.
