Library news

Due to the budget cuts affecting the entire university, we have had to decide not to renew the licenses for several databases. 

Click on this news item for information about changed opening hours in January and February.

We are excited to announce that as of December 16th we will start working with our new library system: FOLIO!  

Read here what FOLIO is and what it means for you.

Book sale for charity! On December 2 and 3, we are hosting a book sale for charity, Amara. The book sale will take place at the library on R8.

A great opportunity to score a good book for Sinterklaas, Christmas or perhaps to enjoy reading yourself during the Christmas holidays. 1 book for only 1 euro!

Would you like to donate books? We would be grateful! Bring them to our library at Rengerslaan 8 or to the Green Office at Rengerslaan 10 before 28 November.

From 9 to 13 December, we switch to a brand new library system. Unfortunately, no materials can be borrowed during this week. 

Do you still have a stack of borrowed books at home? Then turn them in during this week with no fines! A great opportunity to clean up your account before the new library system kicks in.

NHL Stenden Library has a subscription to the Keuzegids HBO (Dutch). The Keuzegids HBO 2025 is now online.

Can't get into the system because you forgot your password? Please contact us and we will create a temporary password for you. As soon as you can get back in, you can change it.

The link ‘forgot password’ is currently not working. You will therefore not receive an e-mail. Our apologies, we are working on a solution.

On Tuesday afternoon, September 24, starting at 2 p.m., we will have the soda cold and the cookies ready at NHL Stenden library in Leeuwarden. During this cozy afternoon, you are welcome to enjoy various board games, from classics like Scrabble to modern favorites like ‘Regenwormen’! Compete with friends, fellow students or new acquaintances while enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of the library. 

NHL Stenden Library (Leeuwarden) is as from today open on weekdays between 8.30 and 17.00. 

Struggling to concentrate? Feedback that's not to the point? Constructing sentences? Structure? 

From 17- 21 June, we will have a fine-free week, during which everyone can return their books without paying (old) fines. That way, you'll have some money left over for your holiday :)

Brightmine (formerly XpertHR) is a Dutch database of NHL Stenden Library with up-to-date, practical information on all aspects of the field of human resources.
