How to find us?

Instructions regarding the location and entrance to the Library, public transport, stops and parking spaces.

The main entrance to the Library is on the north frontage of the Market Square. The pavement adjacent to the building and encircling the Market Square (also along the front and entrance to the Library) is paved with the so-called heelway. The heelway is made of manually laid granite paving blocks, cut to a special shape, where the gaps are filled with mortar. That makes the surface even and safe. Therefore, the road is available for wheelchair users, but also parents with prams and people wearing high heels. Please keep in mind, however, that in spring and summer the availability of this surface may be highly restricted by outdoor patios made by pubs and restaurants.

Entry to the building is hindered by a step and heavy, iron door, opened by physical strength. The doorbell button is located on the right side – use it if you require assistance when entering the building. Behind the entrance door, there is a small vestibule (the size of which may hinder manoeuvring a wheelchair), followed by a door providing access to a wide main hall.
