Reservation of work rooms is made through the electronic booking system available on the library’s website or an employee of the Book Reading Room. To log in, we use the library account details, ID/library card number and password.

Online booking is possible for people with an active library account. People not related to the University may use work rooms (if they are free) only with the consent of the librarian on duty.

The document entitling the student to use the library services is a student ID card, which also serves as a library card, with which one should go to the General Lending Department (level P0) and activate the library account. From now on, you can borrow books, use the reading room and work rooms.

Students can borrow:

  • long-term – 15 books for 2 months;
  • short-term – 5 books for 7 days;
  • short-term – 5 books for 3 hours or the time the library closes.

In addition, it is possible to borrow 2 books for 2 months from the Fiction collection.

You must log in to your account to order a book.

The extension is made online, from your own library account, before the deadline for returning the book.

It is not possible to order and reserve online publications available in the Book Reading Room in advance. Collections are made available on site or rented for a short time: marked with a red stripe for 3 hours or the time the library closes, and without a red stripe for 7 days. Return deadlines are not extendable.

The order processing time is about an hour from the moment of placing the order.

The return of books is possible in the book depository, which is operates almost 24 hours a day (between 2.00-4.30 – technical break), located outside the building. This applies only to books borrowed from the Main Library (16 Zwierzyniecka Street).
Books from faculty libraries should be returned to these libraries during their working hours.
