Books Borrowing & Return

Sukurta: 01 June 2020

Users are able to return or borrow books by themselves without requesting them in advance.

Books can be returned only at the same place where they were borrowed. Books can be returned using self-service or in designated places.

Please note that from 1 September, according to the resolutions adopted by Vilnius University and the Government of the Republic of Lithuania, the complete services of VU Library will only be provided to people that present a valid COVID digital certificate upon entry. Users without a National Certificate (or equivalent) can only return books or take books ordered previously. Please address in regard to book orders. More on the National Certificate can be found here.

Please also mind the fact that in the library everyone needs to wear protective face masks.
