You can extend your loan through your reader account. 

Click on log in in the top right hand corner (on our website) - then fill in your details and once you are logged in, you will see "Your Checked Out Items" page where you can renew one or more of your loans. 

Such an approach is common practice in libraries of similar type in the Czech Republic and abroad. The main reason for this is to protect the unique preservation collection. Other reasons are consideration (taking up more space) and the desire to prevent destruction/soiling of furniture, especially chair covers.

No, the library does not provide such a service. Please order books through our online catalogue.

For easier logging in, we recommend entering a nickname, which you can then use instead of a long library card number.

In the online catalogue, click on log in, select "Card number recovery" and follow the instructions.

International interlibrary loans cannot be extended. Borrowing from Czech libraries can be extended, just let us know by email mvs@mzk.cz or by phone 541 646 175.

You will receive a personal email from the librarian telling you what and where to check out, what the loan period is, and how much it will cost.

The loan period is set by the supplying, lending library and is usually 3-4 weeks.

Article copy: 1 hour to 3 weeks. Borrowing a book takes about 2-4 weeks (depending on the supplying library and its delivery method).

Unfortunately, no. You can make a reservation. If we own the book ourselves, we can't request it from elsewhere. Exceptions are long-term loans and unavailable volumes.
