Media Hub - Bibliotheek

Come work in silence

Need a quiet place to refocus? You can study at the library without reserving a table. In Bruges, there are two spaces available for working in silence or without silence (e.g., for group projects).

Print, copy, scan and cut

Use our printer to print, copy, or scan.

Cutting machines are available at both Media Hubs. A folding machine is also available in Kortrijk.

Through Howest partner Digitaal Print, you can also have your course and course documents printed directly from LEHO and delivered to the campus.
