Borrowing from the library

Registrations of all loans are done electronically. The loan information is erased when the item is returned. Loan-receipts, given when items are borrowed, show the number of items borrowed and the deadline for their return. Return-receipts are given on demand.

There is no limit to the number of items that can be borrowed, with the exception of some cdroms, cds, videos, DVDs and games.

Be aware that all items are burglar proofed. Security points at each exit will release an alarm in case non registered items are passed through.

Loan period

For most items the loan period is one month - for exceptions this will be stated. Loans can be renewed up to 5 times if the item is not reserved by others.

Fines are charged on each item kept overdue.

In extreme cases you can be excluded from borrowing until the matter has been settled.
