User Services and Loan

Books and other media can be consulted in two locations, the Zeughaus and the Bibliotheca Augusta. Research books are available in the open-shelf reference library or can be ordered from the stacks. Books can be taken out on loan, but restrictions apply to works on the open shelves. Books for loan are issued and returned at the circulation desk in the Zeughaus (1st floor). Manuscripts, special collections and books printed before 1921 cannot be taken out on loan. Rare books must be consulted in the reading rooms, manuscripts may only be used in the reading room in the Bibliotheca Augusta. You need a valid reader's ticket in order to use the library. This can also be obtained at the circulation desk in the Zeughaus. If you have any further questions, please contact our reference librarians.
