Fines and fees policy


To promote the return of material, our library charges fines for overdue books from August 2007. Overdue fee is collected right after the expiry date and the fines increase daily: normal collection: 0,20 €/item/day (maximum 5 €/item). However overdue items from the reference library: 0,50 €/item/hour (maximum 8 €/item). You will get a courtesy notice three days before the due date of your loans. If your loans are overdue, you will get two reminders. Reminders are sent by e-mail or by post. (Please remember to inform us of any address changes.)

The library has a right to suspend a patron’s borrowing privileges. Suspension happens automatically if you have not returned or renewed an overdue book within 6 weeks OR if your total fines are more than 8 €.
The customer must replace lost or damaged material.
