    To borrow or renew a book, you must present your membership card.

    You can take out up to 10 documents at a time (including two new releases and five audiovisual documents), for a three-week period

  • Lost or damaged books

    You must pay the cost of repairing or replacing lost or damaged books. If a lost document is subsequently found, you have 30 days to obtain a refund.
