Book review procedures

• Please do not return books to the shelves yourself!

• The books should be left in the designated carts (in the Reading Room and next to the librarian desk).

• Reserved books and new books should be returned to the librarian counter after you finished using them.

• A book that was removed from the shelf for a moment and was not used, should be placed in carts rather than on the shelf.

• Do not leave books scattered on the tables, after you finished working with them, the books should be placed in the carts.

• Do not take out of the library books that have not been loaned.

• Do not take a book from another person’s stack of reserved books! If you cannot find a book, ask the librarian for help.

 

Lending and Returning Procedures

• Most books may be borrowed for a period of three days, unless otherwise specified by the librarian at the time of borrowing.

• The loan period will be automatically renewed, as long as the item has not been requested by another reader, unless a different due date has been set by the librarian.

• After one year from the date of borrowing, the book must be returned to the library, even if it has not been requested by another reader.

• If a reader wishes to borrow the book again, this may be done only after a librarian has confirmed that the item has been returned and is in good condition.

• Please make sure to monitor your email notifications and check your personal library account for updates on your loans, in order to avoid unnecessary fines.

• Late fees are 10 NIS per day for regular books, and 15 NIS per hour for reserved items (marked with a red ribbon).

• A reader who loses a book will be charged either the cost of the book or the total accumulated fine, whichever is applicable.

• Lack of familiarity with the regulations does not constitute grounds for appealing a fine.

 

Procedures for reserving books for reading:

• Books can be reserved in the Reading Room for reading, and those books will not be distributed back to the shelves. For help in reserving please contact the librarian.

• To reserve books, write on a note: name, last name, date of retention and desired date of reserving. The note should be placed inside the first book, with the details of the reader visible.

• You can save up to ten books.

• Books that cannot be reserved: dictionaries, periodicals, encyclopedias, reserved books or new books.

• Do not leave sticky or regular bookmarks inside the book after you finished using it.
