Does the library have books on topic xyz?
If you are looking for books on a specific topic, we recommend you use our online catalogue for an initial keyword search.
If I cannot find a book at your library, can I still get it?
The Regional Library offers the "Wunschbuch" option to suggest a desired title for purchase.
As a rule, all "desired books" are purchased, but the Library reserves the right to check the book and, in rare cases, reject the request.
