Onleihe Hessen

The OnleiheVerbundHessen is an offer of Hessian public libraries. It is an online library where you can borrow digital media for children and adults such as eBooks, epapers, eAudio and other digital media. The Onleihe Hessen was upgraded to a new version on February 11, 2026.

Currently, there may still be some teething problems that are being worked on.

If you have any problems or questions, the Onleihe help page is at your disposal.

As soon as you have successfully switched to Onleihe 3.0, you can browse the online library from home, download your selection and use the media on your PC, smartphone, tablet or e-book reader (preferably Tolino) - around the clock, seven days a week.

How can you use the Onleihe service?
To use the service, you need a PC or mobile device with internet access and a valid library card.

Onleihe 3.0 is available in the browser or as an app. This can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

Click on the "Media account/ Login" button to access the login screen, where you first select "Stadtbücherei Hofheim am Taunus" . Log in there using the number on your library card and your personal password.

Good to know!

There are no overdue fines with the Onleihe: Once the loan period has expired, the file can no longer be opened. The "return" takes place automatically, so to speak.

The e-book reader "Kindle" is not compatible with Onleihe Hessen.
