Summer Opening Hours 2023
The library will be closed from Monday, 14th August 2023, until Friday, 1st September 2023.
The library will reopen from Monday, 4th September 2023.
During the library closure, the loan services and interlibrary services will be unavailable. The main study, computer study, research room and cloakroom will be closed.
- The loan period for documents will be extended beyond the library closure so any documents borrowed in mid-July will be lent until the 4th September, (this includes automatic extensions of preexisting loans). In case of automatic extensions in mid-August, the return date will be extended to the 11th September to give you more time to return the documents. However, if your membership expires during the closure, the loan period of your documents cannot be extended any further. For this reason we suggest checking your user account and extending your membership before the closure or returning your loans if needed. We also suggest checking the end date of your document loan period. If your loans were not extended to September, please contact us at servis@knav.cz.
- Loans can be returned into book return box located to the right under the stairs beyond the entry door to the LCAS from Monday to Friday, 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- NOTICE: Loans will be returned the next working day. It is not possible to get a return receipt.
