Adolescents only had access from the age of 14. The demand was so great that each reader was only allowed to borrow books once a week.
  • In 1897 the library was renamed the Public Reading and Book Hall , and at the same time it moved to Luisenstrasse 20.
  • In 1901 the library was taken over by the city of Darmstadt.
  • In 1924 the library moved to Pädagogstrasse 1.
  • On September 11, 1944, the library was destroyed in an air raid.
  • In 1945 the library resumed its operations in the Goethe School.
  • In 1964 the library in the Justus Liebig House was reopened as an open access library.
