Library Geology/Paleontology
Geology Building, Nussallee 8, 53115 Bonn, Germany
The Geology/Palaeontology Library in the Geology building (Nußallee 8) is closed with immediate effect due to upcoming renovation work. The library will remain closed for at least 2 years.
The textbook collection of the Geology/Palaeontology Library has been moved to the Library Mineralogy in the Poppelsdorfer Schloss (Meckenheimer Allee 169, Room 2.127) due to the refurbishment. Unfortunately, the Library Mineralogy is currently not open due to staff shortages and the textbook collection is not available for the time being.
