Autumn cleaning: SLUB closing days
2026 annual maintenance will take place on September 8th and 9th. Then the doors of all SLUB locations will be closed for our fall cleaning.
Why is this necessary?
We literally use these two days for fall cleaning before the new semester begins in October and make the SLUB fit for the remaining opening days in the year, when several thousand visitors are on the move in our buildings every day during 'normal' times. We carry out maintenance, tidying up and room care work - all that is unfortunately not possible during regular operation. On both days, we clean, oil floors, dust shelves, give keyboards and screens a thorough cleaning, and carry out minor renovation and repair work.
Restrictions on online services and accessibility
In addition, there will be IT maintenance work, which may temporarily lead to restrictions in the use of the SLUB website, the catalog and the user account.
We will be unavailable by phone and chat on September 8th and 9th, and there may be delays in responding to inquiries via our contact form.
We wish you two successful SLUB-free days and look forward to your visit before and after the closing days!
