Luxor Library – Usage and Membership Policy

1. Library Usage & Borrowing Policy

The Luxor Library is open to students, researchers, and the general public. Members may borrow up to 2 books at a time for a 1-week loan period. Books may be renewed for an additional week only if no other member has requested them.

Late returns will initially result in friendly reminders, but repeated delays may lead to temporary bans or fines, depending on the member's history.

We ask all members to treat borrowed materials with care and return them on time to ensure fair access for everyone.

2. Membership Policy

To support the sustainability and development of the Luxor Library, we offer low-cost membership plans:

• Students: €1/month

• Non-students: €2 / month

Membership registration is completed through a secure online form and payment via Stripe, the trusted system used by Luxembourg University Press. Members receive access to borrowing privileges and other benefits.

Membership is open to all and renewable monthly. Annual plans may be introduced in the future.

3. Library Membership Scholarship

To ensure access for all, we offer a Library Membership Scholarship for students who cannot afford the monthly fee.
