Register online with MitIDDanish Health Security Card
To register at the library, bring your yellow Danish Health Security Card. Once you register your yellow card becomes your membership card. You may then use this card at the self-service terminals, and the CPR number listed on it as your username online at our website. Note that you can also type your CPR number and your 4 digit code at the self-service terminals.
Self-service terminals
You use the Danish Health Security Card at the self-service terminals for borrowing or renewing library items along with your pin code. Online you use your social security number (listed on your yellow card) along with your pin code. If you forget to bring your yellow card, you can enter your social security number on the self-service terminals instead.
Email and pin code
When you register, you will be asked for an email address, mobile telephone number, and a 4 digit pin code. The pin code is used to borrow and reserve books, but also to gain access to our online resources. The email address and the mobile telephone number are used by the library only to get in contact with you.
Online ressources
The library provides access to a wide range of digital resources. You can access them in the following ways:
- As a citizen of Gentofte Municipality, you have access to all the digital resources via the libraries computers.
- As a citizen of Gentofte Municipality, you have access to most of the library's digital resources from home to your own computer.
- As a guest of Gentofte Libraries you have access to most digital resources via the library's computers - even if you do not live in the municipality.
If you lose your membership card
If you lose your membership card or yellow card, please notify the library, so your card can be suspended and replaced.
Always bring ID if you require help from the staff
If you require help with borrowing, renewing, or to change your pin code, you must bring your yellow card/membership card or some sort of ID, as the staff cannot help you with any actions concerning your status as a patron without some ID. This is to ensure that your information is not abused.
Exclusion
We welcome all our guests. Please be respectful and comply with the guidelines from the staff. If the library staff finds that you are in violation of these guidelines, you may be excluded from using the library for a probation time.
You may also be temporarily excluded from borrowing items from the library if you fail to return borrowed items repeatedly, if they are returned in a damaged condition, or if you owe a minimum of 300 kroner.
