Your library card
You can borrow 34 documents, including 10 books/comics, 10 periodicals, 10 CDs/scores/vinyls, and 4 DVDs.
This applies to all libraries in the CoVe network and lasts for 3 weeks. You can also reserve 5 documents, including a new arrival.
Membership gives you access to a personal account on the library website where you can:
- reserve documents
- renew your loans
- write reviews on your favourite document
- browse and listen to a large range of music, reviews and training programmes online
- enjoy an online video library on the Vivre Connectés platform.
You do not need to be a member to consult documents, use the photocopiers and access the internet in the library itself.
The CoVe network of libraries
A single library card allows you to borrow documents from the library of your choice.
This card helps to keep documents flowing between libraries. You can either go yourself to any library of your choice, or ask for your loan to be sent and then return it to the library that’s most convenient for you. Note: CDs and periodicals cannot be sent to different libraries.
