The Zuid-Holland Library Passport enables you to borrow library materials from one or more public libraries in the Province of Zuid Holland at a reduced rate.
As a registered user of one of Zuid-Holland public libraries, you can apply for a free Zuid Holland Library “Passport”. On presentation of this passport you can register at one or more other public libraries in Zuid Holland. You will then receive a library card for usage in the library in question. The cost of the library passport is € 5.00. If the library concerned operates a system with differentiated lending fees, the standard package will be applicable.
The rules:
• A library passport can be obtained free of charge at any moment.
• The library passport is only applicable to individual customers and not to schools and institutions.
• The passport must be filled in and stamped at the library where you have already registered or where you are going to register for the first time. The library passport will be valid for the length of the contribution period.
• In the library of your choice you will receive a library card at a charge of € 5.00 for the duration of the validity period of your passport. (Some libraries charge a lower fee).
• The charge should be paid in cash. It is possible to use the same library passport in other Zuid Holland public libraries.
• In order to obtain this library card you need to present the library concerned a proof of identity in accordance with their regulations.
• At whichever library you borrow, the individual rules of the library concerned will always remain valid.
• Library materials can only be returned at the library where they have been borrowed.
• The passport is also valid in mobile libraries.
• In some cases libraries have made agreements to deviate from the regulations as described above. The libraries in question will inform you if necessary.
• In case the subscription, obtained with a Zuid-Holland Library Passport, has expired, the applicant needs to have his passport filled in for a new subscription period at his home library.
• You need a special membership card in order to borrow at the Rotterdam Central Music Library.
• Attention: if you have your library subscription renewed you have to fill in a Zuid-Holland Library Passport once again. Your old passport will no longer be valid.
