The opening week of the new Maurice Calmeyn Library in De Panne is concluding, but visitors can still discover much within its walls. Thanks to the OpenBib system, opening hours are significantly expanded: members will have access almost every day from 08:30 AM to 10:00 PM.
During the unmanned hours, members can independently enter the library using their eID or library card. They can borrow and return materials, offering flexibility to visit the library at their convenience.
New members visiting the library for the first time during unmanned hours must first accept the OpenBib terms and conditions. This can be done online or at the counter during staffed hours. The OpenBib system is exclusively accessible to members.
Library staff will remain available at set times for questions, reading recommendations, or personal assistance. This approach combines extended opening hours with the familiar personalized service.
