You can order to a parcel machine for home lending all books, serials and printed music with the status "AVAILABLE“ or "FOR USE IN LIBRARY". The loan period is 60 days and it can be renewed for up to three times if there is no demand. Books that are ordered before and after 16.00 on the same day (4 p.m.) are packed in separate parcels and a separate fee will be charged for each parcel. A fee is charged for the parcel at the parcel machine upon collecting it.
