How do I become a library cardholder?
Your valid ID or CAC card serves as your library card. Visit the library and in just a few minutes a staff member can have you registered in the library system. If you were registered at your previous duty station, we just need to make a few updates and you are ready to borrow!
Is there a limit on the number of books to be checked out at a time?
Patrons are authorized to check out as many books as they want; however, we do place a limit restriction on some materials per account.

- CDs 10 items
- DVDs and Blu-Rays 10 items
- Board Games 1 item
- Video Games 2 items per game system

How long may I check items out for?
All items are checked out for 3 weeks and can be renewed twice, as long as there is no hold on the item(s).
Can I order items from other libraries?
Yes, to borrow items from another library in the Army Europe Library system, a request must be placed on the item in the Web catalog. You may place your own requests from home or you may ask your library circulation desk staff for assistance placing requests.
What happens if I lose a library item?
In accordance with AR 735-17 Accounting for Library Materials, compensation must be made for lost or damaged library materials. Army libraries are not authorized to accept monetary compensation for lost items. Contact the librarian at the owning library to be given a title to be purchased as a replacement. It will either be a new identical purchased copy or a similar item of equal value. Items must be submitted with the sales receipt.
How will I get notified if a library item is past due?
If your item is overdue you may receive an overdue reminder by e-mail. If this happens, you can renew online or contact library to extend the item if it does not have a hold placed on it. When an item is overdue for an extended period of time, your account may be suspended until you either return the item(s) or reconcile your account by replacing lost items.
Can my child be in the library on their own?
Libraries follow the Army in Europe Child and Youth Supervision guidance.
If your child is under the age of 10 and/or does not have an ID card, a parent or guardian must remain in the library with them.
If your child is an ID card holder 10 and over, it is your responsibility to coordinate with your child regarding drop off, pick up, and transportation to and from the library.
