Until the beginning of the winter semester we’re only open on Tuesdays!
If you want to bring books back but we’re not there you can leave them in our compartment in the AStA office. You can find the opening hours at https://asta.tu-berlin.de/en/general-office/
If you need advice on certain literature or if you want to suggest books for the library, write us an email to bibliothek@asta.tu-berlin.de. We will try to answer your request as soon as possible.
The abib (AStA library or alternative library) offers you a wide range of literature that can’t be found in other libraries or got lost in mainstream literature. The abib is looking for a way to counteract the disappearance of critical science at the TU. So get your books out and form reading circles!
Our offer includes
- theory and history of social movements
- social criticism
- ideology criticism
- cultural criticism
- critique of science and technology
- philosophy and psychology
- political theory and practice
- current political analysis
- a large (queer) feminist department

If you are interested in borrowing books, please stop by during our opening hours! If you have a special book request, please write us an email to bibliothek@asta.tu-berlin.de .
