Loans and Deadlines
Please note:
- DVDs marked “NEW” cannot be extended.
- We will automatically send you a reminder by email three days before the loan period expires.
- Overdue fees will be charged on the first day after the due date.
Reserve and Extend
You can extend your borrowed media at any time via our online catalog, provided they have not yet been reserved by other users.
You can easily log in with your library card number, which is also your user name, and your date of birth as your password (in the format DDMMYYYY).
It is best to renew your borrowed media only on the due date to utilize the full loan period.
If the extension is not displayed immediately, it is best to reload the page.
You are also welcome to reserve media free of charge, which we will keep available for you for one week.
