The Düsseldorf Central Library in KAP1 has been awarded the national library prize "Library of the Year 2023".

The innovative Open Library concept allows users to access the library outside of opening hours. The prize "Library of the Year in small municipalities and regions 2023" was awarded to the City and School Library Lauenburg, which stands out for its technology-related and digital offerings as well as its promotion of reading.
