Main library

The University library Graz is a public library, therefore its services are free of charge for everyone. In order to borrow books you need a library card which is also free of charge.

At the loan desk you can collect books which you have ordered from the closed stack or via inter-library loan. Your library card is also issued here. More information: Borrow, pick up, fines.

At the main library you can find open access collections to be used by all users as well as collections for students only: the textbook collections and the reserve collections.

The University Library administers a large part of the written heritage of the Duchy of Styria, including manuscripts from Styrian and Carinthian monasteries as well as stocks from the Jesuit University, which are housed in the special collections.

The main library provides a "kids' room" for short stays of children with adult attendants. >> More information at unikid & unicare
