Items loaned to a user are for the personal use of that user only and remain the responsibility of the user until they are returned to the library and the loans are cancelled. Parents and guardians are responsible for any loans by their children.

Loans allowed
Once you are a member of the Alliance Française, you may borrow up to 3 books, 2 comic books, 2 language courses, 2 CDs and 2 films at any one time. Periodicals are for reference only.

Loan periods
With the exception of films, which are limited to a 1 week loan, all items may be borrowed for 3 weeks.
Any loan may be renewed once. To do this you should contact us personally, over the phone or by email, remembering to quote your membership card number. All items on loan must be returned by their due date. Outside the library’s opening hours loan material may be deposited in the Returns Box located for that purpose outside the library entrance on the first floor. Under no circumstances may library material be left at the Alliance Française reception desk.

Penalties
The fine for late films is 50 cent per item per day.
All other late materials are fined 10 cent per item per day. Fines must be paid immediately and in full, and users are responsible for all fines due but not collected at time of return.
Users are responsible for any item not returned, lost or damaged and will be charged accordingly.
Users failing to observe the regulations on borrowing may be subject to all accrued fines and to suspension from further borrowing.
