The library services – Learn, work & research
Welcome, first year students!
We wish you a great start into the winter semester 2024/2025!
All important links to our services are compiled on this page.
During your time at our university, the library will play a major role. You will not only come across a wealth of digital and printed media, but also a place of learning and exchange.
We are available in person, by phone or by email to help you with any questions you may have and to provide you with personalized advice.
We look forward to supporting you in your studies!
Activate your library account and get your Leuphana Card
The library account allows you to borrow books and other media from the university library. First, you have to register online with the library. Then you can pick up your Leuphana Card in person at the service desk during opening hours. The Leuphana Card costs €5 to issue. There is also a €10 deposit.
The most important thing in advance: If you want to borrow books or use our printers, you first need to activate your Leuphana Card:
- Step 1: Fill out the online registration.
- Step 2: Activate the card at the service desk in the library foyer.
