Long study nights: how the city library helps with exam preparation

From 4 April, Bocholt City Library is inviting pupils and all students who are currently preparing for an exam to three long study nights. On 4 April, 11 April and 25 April, the city library will remain open until 10 p.m. and will offer quiet and inspiring places to study, learning aids for all exam subjects, free Wi-Fi and healthy snacks. Participation in the long study nights is free of charge and registration is not required.

For several weeks now, many pupils and other students have been using the quiet and inspiring atmosphere of the city library to prepare for their final exams or A-levels, either alone or in study groups. "Our aim is to provide learners with a supportive environment in which they can concentrate fully on their preparations", says Melanie Tenhumberg, Head of the City Library. "A small team of librarians from the City Library will of course be on hand throughout the evening to offer advice and answer research questions".

Making effective use of the final spurt of exam preparation

In addition to selected specialised literature, reference works and learning aids for all examination subjects, the city library offers free WLAN, free use of Smartboard and Internet workstations as well as copying and printing facilities. Refreshments and nourishment are provided to keep students focussed and full of energy.

City library responds to high demand

On three Thursdays after regular opening hours, the city library is exclusively for students. On 4 April, 11 April and 25 April, all individual and group workstations will be available for pupils and students until 10 pm. Participation in the long learning nights is free of charge and registration is not required.
