As the number of library items defaced by borrowers has recently increased significantly, which (especially in the case of tests) reduces their utility value, we are, from September 2016, introducing a system of thorough checks of borrowed items.

All users are kindly requested to check whether the items are not damaged before borrowing.

Any items with a loan date after September 19, 2016 returned to the BC in a defaced condition will, in compliance with the UP Library Regulations, be considered damaged and the borrower requested to pay their full price.

For online registration, please, click here.
