The German National Library will be closed at both locations. The exhibitions of the German Museum of Books and Writing will open from 10:00 to 18:00.

The German National Library offers free access to its bibliographic data and several collections of digital objects. As the central access point for presenting, accessing and reusing digital resources, DNBLab allows users to access our data, object files and full texts. The access is available by download and through various interfaces.
