Imagine this: You’re sitting in the library, about to start writing your term paper and you realize: The laptop charging cable is still at home! Or you have booked a groupwork lab and only realize there that you need an adapter that you don’t even have. Or you have back pain from sitting for so long and would like to continue working while standing up.

The new service Primo of Things can help: You can now find various useful items to borrow for daily use on site.

For example:

• Charging cable, adapter, mouse, USB stick, camera
• Storage options such as day lockers or book trolleys
• Play and sports equipment for active breaks
• Foam wedges for the work with particularly valuable books
• Table tops („Standsomes“) for working while standing up and much more.

A basic range of helpful items can be borrowed from all libraries at Freie Universität. You can find out where exactly which equipment is available by clicking on the item (see “Locations”).

Please do not forget: Most items must be returned when you leave the library.

The new service is constantly being expanded. If you have a suggestion, request or feedback, please write to us or comment on this post.
