I am not affiliated with Leiden University, but I would like to borrow books and become a member. Is this possible?
Answer
Yes, this is possible. A library guest account and LU-Card for visitors not affiliated with Leiden University can be made in person only at one of our library locations with the exception of the Law Library and the Science Library. Be sure to bring along a valid form of identification (identity card, passport, foreign national's document or Dutch driving license). You can check our library locations and desks opening hours schedule on this page. Additional information on membership fees and our services can be found here.
Library cards may be issued to visitors of 16 years of age or over.
