Ordering and returning media
If you would like to place a media order, please notify us of your order by telephone or e-mail at least three working days before collection. The Book Bus team can also put together themed book packages or Antolin book boxes for schools on request.
Only media that you have borrowed from the book bus can be returned to the book bus. A limited number of items from the Couvenstraße Central Library can also be returned to the book bus (max. 10). Unfortunately, more is not possible due to lack of space.
