Registration of users:
- On the first visit to the library, a library card will be issued. The library card is not transferable.
- Users are obliged to report loss of the library card and changes of personal information (name, address, etc).
- Users must sign the borrowing regulations sheet and thus confirm their familiarization with it.
- Users who are Caledonian School students can use the library for free, for the duration of their studies.
- Users who are not Caledonian School students will pay a yearly fee (see Price list) and can make in-library and out-of-library loans and use the library for the period of one year.
Privileges and obligations:
