Lending rules and loan periods
To borrow materials from the library, you must be a registered student or employee and have a KMH keycard. You can borrow sheet music, books, DVDs, CDs and old issues of journals for four weeks. For orchestra material, special rules apply.

Your keycard is valid as a library card. Lending can be done by an automat. Using a personal PIN code, you can see your loans, hold requests, and make renewals.
Loan period and suspension
The loan period is four weeks. You will receive three reminders after the loan term expires. If you do not return the material, you will then be suspended from further loans. The library does not charge overtime fees.

Lending rules for orchestral material
Orchestral material is lent exclusively for use by KMH ensembles and orchestras.
Orders must be made by the responsible teacher at least eight weeks before use. KMH has a certain stock of orchestral material, but we often need to lend or rent the material from external libraries or publishers.
You check out your orchestral parts by writing your name and phonenumber on the list on the shelf. Each musician is personally responsible for the material. Remember to note both instrument and number on orchestral material.
Reference material
Next to the library information desk there is a shelf containing reference material to all course literature. The reference material can only be read in the library and the quiet study room in the library.
Renewals
In Mikromarc, our library database, you can make renewals of scores, books, CDs and films.
