Customers’ duty

The due date is binding! The customer is responsible for returning and renewing loans even when it is not possible to renew loans online due to technical or other reasons or when the library system’s pending due date reminder is not working.

​What if my loans are overdue?

Renew your loans immediately. If you are unable to renew your loans because your material is being held for someone else by request or because you have exceeded the maximum amount for fines, return your loans to the KAMK library as soon as possible.

Losing your borrowing privileges

Unpaid fines will increase your debt to the library. If the total amount of fines reaches €3 your borrowing privileges will be rescinded. Your borrowing privileges will be reinstated when you return your loans and pay your fines.
