How do I become a library user?
You are always welcome to make use of the resources of the library even if you are not a registered user. At the library you may read newspapers and books, use our access to the Internet, work on your assignment, or participate in events.
How do I become a library user?
In order to borrow library materials and to use the libraries during staffless hours you must be a registered library user.
You can register as a user online using MitID or visit one of the libraries when staff is on duty. Please bring your photo identification (passport/driver’s license) issued by a public Danish authority.
As users under the age of 18 years must have an adult that is responsible for any charges associated to the library card, you as the adult must register the person, visit the library when staff is on duty, they will help you fill out the required information.
Please bring your photo identification (passport/driver’s license) issued by a public Danish authority and a Health Insurance Card for you and the person under 18 years of age.
When registering online, please observe that all information and the form is in Danish.
Your Health Insurance Card functions as your personal library card with a pin code chosen by you. You will need the pin code, when you borrow and reserve materials and when you use our virtual services. If you forget your pin code, you can choose a new one by producing valid identification with photo.
If you, as a parent, do not want your child to use the Health Insurance Card as a library card a special library card for children may be issued.
In case you lose your library card or Health Insurance Card, you must notify the library in order to avoid misuse.
If you register a Danish cell phone number or your email, you accept that the library can send you service notifications.
How long can I keep the borrowed materials?
Normally, you can keep the borrowed material for four weeks. Some materials for only two weeks. The return date for your loans will appear from your loans receipt or from your library record found at your user profile here on struerbibliotek.dk
Can I renew one or more loans?
You can renew materials not reserved by other users. You can renew up to three times. Some materials cannot be renewed.
It is your responsibility to return the materials at the end of the borrowing period, even if you are not able to renew the loan.
Fines will be charged on the day after expiry of the lending period. See list of fines here.
Renewal of a loan is considered a new loan.
If you renew too late, a fine is charged.
If I lose borrowed materials?
You are responsible for materials borrowed on your Health Insurance Card or library card. So, when borrowing the material please check if it has any defects. You must compensate damaged and/or lost materials at the price paid by the library plus a price for preparation.
NB! The initial cost for certain materials (such as films on DVD and computer games) is because of copyright considerably higher than the retail price. In some cases, the price can be up to DKK 4,000.
You cannot buy a material in a shop in order to replace the lost and/or damaged material.
The library assumes no liability to pay damages for breakdown on playback equipment caused by library materials.
When the lending period is more than 30 days overdue, we consider the material lost and will send you a bill with replacement cost and fine of the borrowed material. If you return the material, you will only have to pay the fine. When you have paid for a damaged and/or lost material, it is yours. It is not possible to get the amount refunded if you find the missing material at a later time.
