Fees and payment
Overdue, lost or damaged material
Overdue returns
If borrowed material is not returned by the due date, the library will send reminders by email. With the final reminder, a replacement fee of SEK 600 and an administration fee of SEK 200 per book will be applied.
You will be blocked from further borrowing with the final reminder until any outstanding fees are paid. The block will be removed within one working day of payment. If you need the block to be removed sooner, you can show your proof of payment to staff at the information desk of any of our libraries.
If the book is returned after a final notice has been issued, the replacement fee will be cancelled. You will then only need to pay the administration fee of SEK 200 per book.
If a book is lost
If you are unable to return a borrowed book, you will be required to pay a replacement fee of SEK 600 per book. If the return date has passed and a final notice has been issued, an additional administrative fee of 200 SEK per book will also apply.
If you have lost a book, please contact the library as soon as possible. If you contact the library before a final notice has been issued, you will not be charged the administration fee.
If a book is damaged
If borrowed material is damaged, you are required to contact the library so that the damage can be assessed. If the damage is considered significant, you may be required to compensate the library for the value of the item. The payment arrangements will be agreed with the library on a case-by-case basis.
