Holdings from the Perthes Forum: Provision within four working days

Thank you for your understanding.

The current conditions of use are as follows:

• A qualified (medical) mask, e.g. FFP2 or surgical mask, must be worn when entering the library and on all routes. This can be removed at the workplace.
