About the library

Public Service
Any private citizen can use the library. Books can be borrowed directly or through your local library, journals and other online materials can be downloaded at a modest price but only directly from the library’s computers. We offer WI-FI, study desks and help and advice from our staff.

The library is part of the Danish Institute for Human Rights and offers access to e-resources, reference books and journals on international and European human rights policy and protection. It also contains extensive holdings of monographs on earlier and current human rights related research.
