Fees
The use of the library of Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences is generally free of charge. However, fees may be charged for exceeding the loan period or for library services.
You can usually pay any fees incurred in cash or by EC card during service hours at the information desk.
If the total amount of fees exceeds €25.00, the library account is automatically blocked. Loans and renewals as well as the use of library services are only possible again once the fees have been paid.
If you have any questions or problems, please contact us in person at the information desk on site, by telephone (Kleve: +49 2821 806 73 - 42215; Kamp-Lintfort: +49 2842 908 25 - 9700) or by e-mail to bibliothek@hochschule-rhein-waal.de.
