HLB has four locations in Wiesbaden and one in Rüsselsheim. You can find all the information about their profiles, addresses, and opening hours in our location overview.
You can find an overview of our online offerings under E-Media, For Schools, and Fun & Leisure.
Unfortunately, for licensing reasons, some e-media can only be accessed on library premises and by university members via VPN.
To view our media, please use our Catalog Plus.
There are four ways to use our media:
- Order via our catalog
- Search and browse the shelves
- Borrow e-media (via Onleihe)
- Read e-media (HSRM members with VPN access from home, regional users via the internet PCs in the libraries)
Our media can usually be borrowed for 28 days.
Renew & reserve
You can extend the loan periods of your borrowed books several times yourself or reserve books for loan if they have been borrowed by other people. To do this, please use your personal library account.
Extending in your library account
To renew books online yourself, you must register in your library account.
You will need: Your library card number and your password. The default setting is your date of birth: TTMMYY. You should change your password after your first login.
Please click on "Your loans, extend" on the left and then select the desired title using the box.
Important: Please note that media reserved by other people can no longer be renewed and must therefore be returned by you in good time to avoid overdue fines.
