From 7 January, the University Library will open as usual and all reading rooms and services will be available again. As an exception to this, the Juridicum reading room will already be open in reduced form from 2 to 5 January. Details of the opening hours can be found here.
Media orders via the Passau search portal can be placed until Wednesday, 17 December, and can be picked up until Monday, 22 December. Research, external access to e-media and self-service functions such as account viewing, renewals, and reservations will be available without restriction throughout the period of closure.
The University Library offers extended borrowing of reading room holdings to students and non-university members over Christmas and New Year. Reading room books borrowed from Tuesday, 2 December onwards will be recorded with a return date after 6 January 2026. Please check your borrowing account for the respective return date.
However, please note that you still have to return media borrowed from the closed stacks or via interlibrary loan on time or renew them in your library account.
