Closing of the Adlershofer Library: Lack of Personnel ensures bottleneck!
The district library Adlershof will be closed on Thursday, September 19, 2024 due to acute personnel bottlenecks. This was made by Marco Brauchmann and Dr. Claudia Leistner, both district city councils, officially announced. The closure not only affects the users of the library, but also has an impact on the services offered on site.
According to those responsible, the aim is to reopen the library regularly the following week. The users are asked for understanding and pointed out that they have the opportunity to return media at other library locations during the closure. A practical alternative is to use the 24-hour return option of the Treptow focus library.

For users whose media are due on the day of the closure, an automatic extension is offered. This means that the return date is postponed to the rear without additional questions or fees. This is to ensure that users have no problems doing their book returns on time.

The short -term closure decision follows previous challenges with which the district library was confronted, especially in the area of personnel planning and availability. This problem has led to the company in the library has been limited recently, which makes preparations more difficult for a more stable personnel situation.
The challenges in the Adlershof district library illustrate the fainting in which many public institutions are when it comes to personnel resources. The situation is not only locally limited, but also shows a general problem that affects many libraries and public institutions. However, those responsible have emphasized that they are actively working on improving the conditions for employees in order to ensure stable operation in the future.
The closure of the district library Adlershof could also lead to an increased discussion about the need for more staff in libraries. It is known that in many cities the number of employees in public libraries is not sufficient to meet the growing requirements of the users. The connection between good service and sufficient staff is becoming increasingly clear, which could possibly initiate future measures to improve this situation.
For everyone who depends on the services of the district library, it is to be hoped that the door will soon be opened again so that the usual offers and services are available again as soon as possible.
