The Library Team is working from home throughout the shutdown period and intends to provide its services remotely to the extent possible. More information on our remote services and activities such as home delivery can be found under the tab 'Coronavirus’. We are reachable by email (library@embl.de) and will do our best to resolve your queries and requests as soon as possible.
Note on open loans:
As it is currently not possible to return books to the library, we are applying a grace period over all open book loans for the duration of the shutdown.
