If you say BIB, you have to say APP

In addition to giving you direct access to our library catalogues and your user account, the HFU Bib app also provides you with an overview of our service portfolio at the three library locations in terms of content and location: the maps of our libraries show you where you can find the media or services you are looking for at any time.
In addition, the app includes the option of consulting via WhatsApp, it contains our current opening hours, and the introduction of our experts who are available to provide you with advice and assistance.
