I first started frequenting this library in 1988 during my year studying at the University in Munich. Otherwise known as die Zentralbibliothek des Münchner Bibliothekssytems, it opened in 1984 and during the time I was a patron, it was the most impressive library I had used. In addition to a vast audio/visual collection, I had an awesome laminated library card complete with a scanable barcode, something that wasn't commonplace in the states until the 90s!
Unfortunately I did not take any photos back in the day, but I did manage to find some recent ones on the web.
