Registration & usage : FAQ - it's that simple
How do I get a library card?
You can apply for your library card directly at your local library. Simply bring a valid ID card or passport, and you’ll gain access to the full range of library services – including the Onleihe digital lending platform.
Please note: some libraries charge a small fee, and your card is usually only valid at the library where it was issued.
How long can I borrow items for?
Loan periods vary depending on the library and the type of media. As a rule, books can be borrowed for up to four weeks; digital media usually have a borrowing period of one to two weeks, depending on the licence.
For specific information on loan periods, renewals or special conditions, please ask your local library.
Typical loan periods via Onleihe: E-books: 21 days, E-audios: 14 days, E-magazines: 1 day.

However, some libraries charge an annual membership fee. Additional fees may apply for special services such as interlibrary loans.
Please check directly with your local library for details.
How does regional lending work?
In addition to the libraries in the network, you can also order media from the Fouqué Library Brandenburg an der Havel.
How it works:
- Research: Search in the Verbund-OPAC or directly in the catalogs of Teltow, Kleinmachnow or Brandenburg a. d.Havel according to the desired medium.
- Order: Contact your library, which will request the medium for you.
- Loan: You can collect the item from your library on arrival
- Return: The item is also returned on site.
Notes:
- The lending library decides on the release. Current titles are often only available locally
- Charges may apply - please check with your library in advance.
Can I borrow books from other libraries or only from my home library?
Direct borrowing is only possible at the library where you are registered. However, you can order items from other libraries via the regional lending service.
Who can help me with questions about using the library or accessing digital services?
For general enquiries, your local library is your first point of contact. For technical issues related to digital services such as Onleihe, please contact the relevant platform or ask your library for support.
