Current principles of using services at the Main Library

The other reading rooms, i.e. the Main Reading Room (1st floor), and the Own Book Collection Reading Room (ground floor) will remain closed until further notice due to ongoing renovations.

It is possible to contact the staff of the Circulation Department, the Reference Department, and the Special Collections Department by phone or e-mail, who are at your disposal from Monday to Saturday from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm.

Open Stacks Zone remains closed - textbooks from the "W" book collection can be ordered after logging in to your library account, however, due to the beginning of the renovation, the orders may take longer to process.

Please return books through the library book drop, located in front of the entrance to the Library building. Books that do not fit through the book drop box, due to their size, should be left in a special container placed by the Library's reception desk.

 

During the opening hours of the Circulation Desk, it is possible to confirm the cancellation of the account (the so-called clearance slip).  In this case, please return the books directly to the Circulation desk. Similarly, if you want to pay your library fines at once.

Fees for keeping books and for library services (e.g. computer printouts) should be paid in the Cashier's Office in the Library's hall, open from Monday to Friday in the working hours of the Circulation Desk.
