Borrow materials

Would you like to borrow materials? You can register as a member at the library. We only need a valid identification card. As a member you can borrow items from the following materials:

• Novels (Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish)
• Informative books
• Comic books
• Magazines
• Audiobooks
• Daisy-roms
• Sheet music
• Courses

Loan period

The loan period for all materials is three weeks, with the exception of a Plus-membership. With this membership you can borrow unlimited materials for as long as you want.

By renewing your items before the due date, you may avoid fines and extend your borrowing time on selected items.

There are several possibilities:
• Log in at Mijn Bibliotheek and choose 'Mijn gegevens en verlengen' (My data and renew)
• At the library with your library card
• By phone: 040-253 29 01 (€ 1,- per card)

When you renew the loan period for materials subject to a lending fee, you will have to pay the lending fee again. We charge fines on overdue materials to encourage patrons to return items on time. If you do not return the material you will receive a reminder after six weeks and if you still fail to return any items a replacement cost will be levied.
