Use of the library

Welcome to the library and the culture houses

We are pleased to welcome you to your local community meeting place. Here we offer experiences, learning, activities, calmness and immersion.

To be able to borrow our materials, you must be registered as a member.

Registration

Anyone over the age of 18 can register at the Ballerup Libraries with MitID. Once you are registered, you can log in to the website with your Danish CPR no. and the PIN code you have chosen.
Note, however, that citizens residing outside Ballerup Municipality do not have access to e-materials.

If you are over 18 years, you can either drop-by in the manned hours to get help - bring your yellow health card and picture-id or you can register online with MitID.
Your yellow health card (which also functions as your library card) is personal and you are liable for whatever is lent on the card. If you lose your card, please notify us at once, so that we can block the card for further loans. 

If you change your e-mail address or phone number please notify us.

Children and young people below the age of 18 can also be registered as members. All that is needed is a parent or legal guardian to register the person under 18. The guardian is liable for possible fees obtained by the child.

Please note that you must approve having read and accepted the library's rules and tariffs. And please note that the registration form is in Danish as well as most of the website bib.ballerup.dk.

1. Always follow the instructions of staff and security personnel – their judgment takes precedence.
2. The library is a space for both activity and concentration.
   You may move tables and chairs as needed, but please return them afterwards. Sleeping in the library is not allowed.

4. You may eat in the library as long as you clean up thoroughly and take care of the library's furniture and equipment.
5. Smoking, use of e-cigarettes, alcohol, or intoxicating substances is not allowed.
6. Show consideration for others so everyone can feel comfortable. For example, use headphones for music and movies, and keep phone calls and online meetings quiet so as not to disturb others.

8. Please speak with us if you wish to display posters, leave flyers, or similar.
9. We recommend staying at home if you or your child is ill and could infect others.
