Although the National Library of Luxembourg (BnL) is closed, its thousands of digital resources are accessible 24 hours a day, no matter where you are.

In order to allow everyone to take full advantage of the 620,000 e-books, 77,800 e-journals and 390 databases, the National Library has implemented a simplified registration procedure so that those who do not yet have a reader card can register and so that those whose card is no longer up to date, can renew their registration.

Anyone aged 14 and over, and living in Luxembourg or in the neighbouring regions, can register with the BnL.

To register online, you must download the corresponding form, available in three languages ​​on www.bnl.lu, fill it out correctly and send it to the email address: inscription@bnl.etat.lu.

Reader card renewals are also made by email to the address provided. A reader number and a link to initialise a password will be sent to the applicant by email.

The BnL has also extended all outstanding loans until 2 May, 2020.

Borrowed documents can also be returned via the automatic return device outside the BnL building.

Non-returnable works via automatic return (non-format works, international loan documents) can be deposited in a specific box located in the airlock of the main entrance of the library. This box is accessible from 8 am to 8 pm.

The digital collections are accessible via the www.a-z.lu search engine, the ebooks.lu and eluxemburgensia.lu portals.

In addition, the Library will regularly update social networks with selections and reading tips.
