(Late) return and reminder fees
Please always remember to renew or return your borrowed media in good time. Otherwise we will charge a reminder fee of EUR 1.20 per week and medium for adults. For minors, the reminder fee is EUR 0.30 per week and item.
Media replacement
If you lose or damage a medium, you must replace it. Therefore, please treat our media with care. In the event of damage or loss, please contact the information desk during our opening hours.
Transfer between the branches
You can return your borrowed media to all three branches. You can also order an item that is in stock at another branch to your home library. You can either order the item yourself via our web catalog or let us know and we will order it for you.
Interlibrary loan
Salzgitter City Library is a member of the Joint Library Network (GBV). Libraries from seven federal states are members of the network, some of which borrow media via interlibrary loan. You can search independently in the Common Union Catalog (GVK). We charge a processing fee of EUR 3.00 per interlibrary loan. This applies regardless of whether the item can be made available to you or not. The delivery time is usually 2 weeks. A loan is usually possible for 4 weeks (this is decided by the lending library). If you would like to place an interlibrary loan, please contact us personally at the information desk during our opening hours.
