The usual loan period is 30 days and it can be renewed up to ten times online, unless the item has been reserved. If there is a desire to continue using the volumes beyond the ten renewals (rebooking), please click here.

If you have indicated your email address, you will receive a reminder 4 days before your loans are due. This includes items borrowed for home reading as well as items requested to the reading room.

Please use your library account to renew your loaned items.
Please avoid renewing items too early.
The extension of a loan period is only possible if your library card will still be valid when the loan period ends.
