From the Flux Forward organisation register · Not edited on this site How we check thisHide
Organisation records are published from the Flux Forward organisation register and shown here exactly as that register holds them. We do not research, write or edit them on this site, and a listing is not an endorsement or a sign that an organisation can help with your situation. Check the organisation's own website before acting.
Any resident of the province can join. The digital skills training and the DigiHulplijn helpline are the parts most likely to be useful early on, although none of the published services is designed specifically for newcomers.
About
Biblionet Groningen is the public-facing name of Stichting Biblionet Groningen, a foundation registered in the city of Groningen that runs public libraries across the province. Its website is groningsebibliotheken.nl, and the address biblionetgroningen.nl redirects there. The foundation runs library locations and smaller service points across the province, alongside a partnership that places libraries inside schools, and it shares a joint collection and reciprocal borrowing with the city libraries at Forum Groningen. Beyond lending books, e-books, audiobooks and magazines, it offers computer and digital skills training, study spaces, online courses including language and photography courses, a mobile library service for smaller communities, and a free DigiHulplijn helpline for residents dealing with digital government forms. It holds ANBI cultural public benefit status, so it is a registered non-profit foundation rather than a commercial or governmental body, although it forms part of the province's publicly supported cultural infrastructure. Its stated aim is to be a place where everyone can read, learn, discover and meet others.
What they offer
- DigiHulplijn, a free helpline for help with digital government forms
Good to know
- A public library foundation, not a municipality or a national government body. It helps residents use digital government forms but does not decide applications.
- The website is in Dutch, and none of the published services is designed specifically for internationals.
