MéNuLu

"MéNulu" (short for "Médiathèque numérique du Luxembourg") is an extensive on-demand video service offered by the Lëtzebuerg City Bibliothèque, the National Library of Luxembourg and the media library of the National Audiovisual Centre. Users can choose from a vast selection of 20,000 audio-visual files and 7 million music tracks available on three streaming platforms: Kanopy, filmfriend and Divercities.

To take full advantage of the service, you need to be a member of one of the partner libraries. To access a document, simply look it up as you normally would on the Luxembourg libraries network's unified search engine (a-z.lu), then follow the link to the platform displayed on the page ("Online access"). To further refine your search, we recommend that you restrict your search to "bibliothèque numérique" (digital library) only. You can also sort the search results by document type (e.g. videos). It is also possible to access these platforms directly via the links below.

  • The US-based platform Kanopy features a collection of audiovisual documents in English, including documentaries, fiction films and movies for children. Users can view up to five movies a month. For the children's content (Kanopy Kids) and the documentaries (The Great Courses), viewing is unlimited. The Germany-based platform Filmfriend features a collection of audio-visual documents in several languages – fiction films, movies for children, Luxembourgish movies, etc. – with unlimited viewing. The France-based platform Divercities is divided into two sections: Tënk, for documentaries, and DiMusic, for musical content. Access is unlimited.
