citybiblio.lu

Like the visual identity, the Lëtzebuerg City Bibliothèque website has also had a makeover: the new site, citybiblio.lu, brings together all the information on the municipal library on a single platform, replacing the websites bimu.lu and tuffi.lu. It is designed to provide a seamless transition between the online experience and the offline one (i.e. actually visiting the library) and to encourage the public to take advantage of all the library's physical and digital services.

When users visit the website, they are immediately immersed in the library universe. The library's resources can be viewed from the home page, which suggests different categories (New Releases, Books, Audiobooks, Films, etc.) and entries by genre, target audience (children, teens, adults), favourites, themed selections and more. Using the search engine, you can easily find a specific work, author or genre. When users select a resource, all the key information is displayed – the author, a summary, the format and the document's location in the library – making it easier for users to make their final choice of loan.

The website also has a section spotlighting news and events at the Lëtzebuerg City Bibliothèque, and you can sign up using the registration form. When members log in to the website, they enjoy a host of benefits: they can set their preferences and receive personalised recommendations, post reviews, bookmark resources to look at later, reserve resources, view certain digital resources directly, and receive notifications.

Finally, like all the City websites, citybiblio.lu is published in three languages – English, French and German – and is responsive and accessible for people with special needs. Designed as a progressive web app, the site can be viewed in a web browser, or saved to the home screen of mobile devices and then used like an app.

The Lëtzebuerg City Bibliothèque also has two monthly newsletters to keep members up to date. These can be received in one of three languages (FR, DE, EN), according to the user's preference.

The first newsletter gives a comprehensive overview of all the library's new acquisitions (books, audio books and video content).

The second newsletter informs members about the library's upcoming event programme.
