Special Rooms
Whether parent-child rooms, barrier-free retreats or the Room of Tranquility - our special rooms offer comfort, support and peace and quiet for different needs.
Parent-child Rooms
Are you studying at the University of Göttingen with a child? Take advantage of the parent-child rooms.
In the Central Library you can book a room on the 2nd floor for studying with your child. Here you can change your child's nappies and your child can play while you work. In the Learning and Study Building you will find several bookable rooms in the parent-child area. On request FORMULAR we can activate your student ID chip card for the use of the room.
In the Medical Library you will find a generally accessible baby changing and breastfeeding room as well as a parent-child room that can be used for up to two hours without prior registration. The room is equipped with a workstation, a children's hammock, a playpen and a place to sit or lie down as well as some toys. Suitcases with additional toys can be borrowed from the circulation desk.
