Where do I find toilets?
An understandable question in a labyrinthine building such as the Central Library ...
- in the library lobby on the ground floor, to the left of the main entrance, opposite to the issue desk
- on the ground floor in the south-eastern wing, behind the textbook collection
- on the second floor in the east and west wing respectively
- on basement level 2 in the south-eastern wing
- there are no toilets on the third floor and on basement level 1!
- on the ground floor near the main entrance, there is a toilet accessible for people with special needs (sign-posted).
