Books can be borrowed and returned at the self-service machines.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who comes at night<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the first six weeks, an average of 140 people a night used the late hours. Most are students and apprentices, but the library also counts shift workers and parents who come after their children are asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What it costs<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The longer hours cost 180,000 euros a year, mostly for security and energy. The city council approved a trial until the end of 2027 and will then decide on the basis of the visitor numbers.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since September, the central library has kept its reading rooms open until midnight from Monday to Friday.
