Library
The club has a library of guides, books and films that you as a member can borrow home. If you have a request or tip on something that we should buy for the library, please contact the club’s board.
Borrowing
The library is located in the climbing hall. Talk to the wall manager, they have access to the library and are happy to lend you a book. When you borrow from the library, we write down your name and phone number to know who has borrowed what. The rental period is usually four weeks but if there is no queue, it is no problem to extend the time. We would like you to be careful with the rental books so that they do not wear out too quickly.
