I order to obtain a library card you need to show an authorized identity paper with photo, and approve that the library may register your name, personal number, adress and phone number in its user records. The purpose is library administration.
Children and young adults in the ages 6 to 18 may have a library card if their parent or guardian approves their application by signing the library card application form.
Information on your current loans and reservations will be registered in the library computer system.
That means that data comprised by the Public access and information secrecy act (Offentlighets och sekretesslagen) are available to the staff in all public libraries in Norrbotten. The library staff are under obligation of secrecy and are not allowed to disclose any information or documents according to chapter 40 §3 in the Public access and information secrecy act.
There will be connected a PIN-code to your library card, so that you can renew your loans and make reservations on our internet catalog from your home. In some libraries, the PIN-code is mandatory.
By signing your library card, you approve of our terms and conditions.
Responsibility for loans
The library card is a personal document of value. This means that you are responsible for the books and other material that are registered on your card. Parent/guardian is responsible for the borrowed material of children and young adults. If you loose your library card, you must report this to the library immediately. If someone else uses your card to check out material and does not return it, you will be liable to pay for it. A replacement card may be obtained for a certain fee.
2 Loan period
Normally the loan period is four weeks. Material that is much asked for has a shorter loan period.
The due date is printed on the loan receipt. You may return the borrowed material in all public libraries in Norrbotten. You may request a receipt when you return the borrowed material, but you must tell the staff this before it’s done. It is not possible to return books that you have borrowed in other libraries than the ones included in the collaboration of the county of Norrbotten.
Reservations
Books and other media may be reserved, and you will be notified when the reserved material is available for you. Reference material and some other media, such as “quick loan” may not be reserved.
Renewals
If you need a longer loan period you can renew your loan. That has to be done before the due date.
Renewals can be done in the library, on the phone or on the internet catalog. The library will extend your loan period twice. You can not renew quick loan, rental DVDs or material which is reserved by another patron.
Overdue materials
The library will charge a late fee for books and other materials that are returned after the due date.
The due date is printed on the loan receipt. The fee should if possible be paid when the material is returned, othewise it will be registered on the library card. If the total of the late fee is 100 SEK or more, you will be suspended until the dept is less than 100 SEK.
There is no late fee for childrens or young adult materials or talking books. Nor is there any late fee for patrons with the service Boken kommer.
Children and young adults in the ages 6-18 will not be charged with a late fee, but their parent/guardian is responsible for compensating material that is lost or damaged.
An overdue notice will be sent around 14 days after the due date. If you still don’t return the
material, you will recieve an invoice on the value of the material and the late fee. Your library card is suspended until the invoice is paid, or the material is returned. Invoices who are not paid within due time are sent to the collection department.
If these terms and conditions are frequently violated, the right to loan may be limited for a certain time, though not more than a year.
