Unfortunately we are forced to change our lending system for the time being. You need to fill out forms to lend books. Please bring your UCCard and proof of address to fill out a registration form. Thank you!
Circulation of materials
To borrow materials readers need a UCCard or a library card from the USB.
- Up to ten books at a time can be borrowed for two weeks. They can be renewed at the information desk. Books that were ordered by another reader cannot be renewed. Books checked out by another reader can be reserved.

- Please contact the librarian for Microfilms, CD-Roms, and DVDs.
