After making an appointment, the following lending services are available again at the Cologne site:

• Collection of pre-ordered media
• Picking up your library card

The media are issued contactless, without entering the library. Please have your library card ready to pick up the media and your identity card ready to pick up your library card. All orders (media from the stacks and reading room) must be received the day before. You can find an overview of all currently applicable regulations during the COVID-19 pandemic here.

The library card can only be issued if it has been applied for in advance. All information on applying for a library card can be found here.
