Protection concept - On-site information

In order to protect its employees and users, the Library has drawn up a protection plan, which is updated as developments occur. It is based on the recommendations of the Bibliosuisse association in the context of Covid-19,  the current regulations of the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) and those of the Bernese cantonal authorities.

Please follow the instructions on site, keep your distance and disinfect your hands before and after using the computers and copying machines. Disinfectant solutions are available.

Please do not visit us if you have the typical symptoms of the disease, or if you are ill or feel ill. If you have any questions about the various services or the protection concept, please contact us at bibliothek@gs-vbs.admin.ch.
