Fun & Leisure

About the eLibrary you can access non-fiction and audio books, novels, newspapers, magazines, e-learning courses, films and music online with a check-out period of one hour to three weeks.

You can borrow media around the clock, whether you are at home or on the move. All you need is access to the Internet and a valid library card. It can be used on various devices such as computers, mobile devices and e-book readers - also via an app for Android and iOS.

The Onleihe has no overdue fines: Once the loan period has expired, the file can no longer be opened. The "return" is therefore automatic. You can find the Onleihe help pages here.
