Apply for a library card: external users aged 18 and over
(e.g. citizens of the city and region of Paderborn or students from other universities)
You can apply for your library card online using the application form.
In the first step, you will be asked to enter your e-mail address. Once you have successfully confirmed your e-mail address, the registration process continues with the entry of your personal details.
Once you have completed the registration process, you will receive a registration code which you can use to collect your library card in person from the counter at the local lending desk. Please bring the following with you:
- Your identity card or passport with a confirmation of registration from the residents' registration office (registration certificate), which must not be older than 1 year, or another valid official identity document with a photo and address details
If the library card is not collected within 30 days, the registration will be cancelled automatically.
