In this blog I’m going to write about my experience with the libraries in Munich. The first months I got here i had a lot of free time that I would pass without studying German or getting in contact with the language, but after three months here I really wanted to get involved more in the language. That was how after my friends told me about how amazing is the library system here in Munich I had to try it. For people that have lived here all their lives may not understand why I was so impressed with the libraries, but back in Mexico they are a whole different. We do not have a culture of going into the libraries or lend books from it, in part is because of the lack of promotion by the government and society, but also because the areas aren’t adapted for student or people that it’s interested in reading or studying. Here with the library ID you can get into the different libraries in Munich and can borrow as much books as you’d like either it’s for school or just to relax. To get the library ID you just have to present a valid ID, the confirmation that you are registered in Munich and pay 4 euros for a three month membership.

I strongly recommend you to get a library ID!
