The parent-child room on the second floor of the Main Library is open during our opening hours if you happen to be at the university with your child or children and are looking for a place where you can spend time together.
Use without an Appointment
Parents with children can pick up a key at the circulation desk on the first floor—no reservation required. Please lock the room when you leave and do not give the key to anyone else.
Please note: The room may not be used if the child in your care has a contagious illness (such as chickenpox, mumps, measles, scarlet fever, or rubella) or an infection accompanied by a high fever.

Our rules
- The parent-child room is only available to parents with children and is used free of charge. Reservations are not possible.
- Take care of the furnishings and equipment. No objects may be removed, the room must be cleaned up after use.
- Please take off your child’s shoes.
- Feel free to share any suggestions for improvement or report any issues with the information on the first floor so that we can continue to improve this service.
- The University Library cannot organise any care or supervision. When using this room, the parents or persons in whose care they have given the children are responsible for the care and supervision of the child to be cared for. The supervisor (parents are liable for their children) is liable to the University Library Erlangen-Nürnberg for any damage to the facilities and objects provided by the University Library Erlangen-Nürnberg which has been caused by a child or a supervisor. This shall also apply to damage to facilities and objects caused by a child if the supervisor has breached his or her duty of supervision. In the event of damage, liability on the part of the university is then excluded. The University shall only be liable in the event of wilful and grossly negligent breach of its duty of road safety or due diligence.
The University would like to thank the University Library, the SFB 814 (Additive Fertigung), and the Zonta Club for the generous funding they provided for the establishment and equipment of this Parent & Child Room.
