Overdue Fees
If the loan period is overdue, a written reminder will be sent for the return of the items. You will receive the 1st and 2nd reminder by email. The 3rd reminder will be sent to you by mail.
| Overdue Notices Schedule | Overdue Fees | |
|---|---|---|
| 1st overdue notice | on the 2nd opening day after due date | 2 EUR per reminded item |
| 2nd overdue notice | on the 10th opening day after due date | 5 EUR additional per reminded item |
| 3rd overdue notice | on the 28th opening day after due date | 8 EUR additional per reminded item |
Overdue interlibrary loan items will incur the same fines as above.
Interlibrary Loan
Overdue fees must also be paid if our reminder letter has not reached you.
Blocks
After sending a 3rd reminder or if a fee debt exists for longer than 6 months, your account will be blocked. Borrowing and renewing are then no longer possible.
If the fee debt on your account exceeds 50 EUR, the account will also be blocked. Borrowing is then no longer possible. In this case, you can continue to renew media that have already been borrowed.
