Today is the future day for young people

These days you will find selected books for young people on our yellow Bookcrossing shelf at the entrance.
You can keep these books or put them out for other people to read at another place (e.g. bus stop, café…). However, as the name Bookcrossing suggests, the principle is to pass on the books.

We would be happy to hear where the books are travelling to. To keep track of these journeys, you can register or enter your books on the Bookcrossing website.

We recommend titles on the subject of “child researchers”. You can find them in our catalogue with the keyword “Kinderforscher“. You are welcome to borrow these books by booking them.

If you want to borrow books from the university library in order to use them at home or on campus, you need a library card.

For students of TUHH this card is free, but you have to apply for it and come to the library personally. Within a few minutes you will receive your library card and get started.

” Apply ” means that you log on with your personal data here.

Pickup is available at the circulation counter in the university library from Monday – Thursday 9:00am – 7:00pm and Friday 9:00am – 6:00pm, if you present the following:

  • Identity card or passport including resident`s registration document
  • Student ID ( or enrollment or HVV ticket )

A valid email address is very important for a smooth service – e. g. for reminder emails at the end of the loan period!
