A Place Designed for Families
The Gerthe Branch Library is located in the Schulzentrum Nord at Heinrichstraße 4 in 44805 Bochum. According to the city of Bochum, the library is on the first floor, and an elevator is available. At the same time, the city points out some limitations: The restrooms are not barrier-free, and the entrance door does not have an automatic door opener. For families, clear planning in advance and a quiet, easily accessible environment for the reading visit is paramount.
