Once the due date expires, a fine of 0.30 PLN is charged for each started calendar day. The fine is not payable, if the book is returned within  10 days after the due date  (calendar days, including the Library’s closure days, are taken into account).
Five days before the book's due date the patron receives a reminder e-mail . which is of purely informative character; not receiving it does not exempt one from being fined for overdue books.

On the due date, an admonition requesting return the books is sent via e-mail or traditional mail. The patron is charged 7 PLN,  if it is sent via traditional mail. The fine for overdue books is charged independently from sending the admonition.

If there is no response on the part of the patron, the Library is entitled to take legal action to compel him/her either to return the book or refund  its value as defined in the Library Director's ordinance.
Gross violation of the Library’s terms and conditions, including returning damaged books or not returning them at all despite repeated reminders, provides grounds for depriving the patron of the right to use the Library for a period up to 12 months.
