Tag der Bibliotheken 2026 Games day at the library: play & stay
The University Library is organising a games day for ‘Libraries Day’ in collaboration with Essen City Library and the UDE student e-gaming society.
Just like last year, the 'Bibliothekssaal' in the GW/GSW Library is once again being transformed into a huge play paradise.
As well as a wide selection of board games, this year’s event welcomes a new addition: @essengaming – the UDE’s student e-gaming society.
Participation is free of charge; no sign-up is required (except for ‘Dungeons & Dragons’).
When?
24.10.2026, 2pm - 8pm
Wo?
