Attention! Summer changes and implementation of the new library system!
WUL's work schedule – July, August, September 2025
Dear Users,
We present a detailed schedule of the functioning of the WUL's departments during the summer. For the Library, this is not only a holiday period, but also an intensive time of implementation of a new library system that will make it easier for you to use the services of the UoW's libraries. Because of that, there will be changes in the functioning of our departments serving users. Please familiarize yourself with the schedule below:
July 2025
- Until July 31st, all departments serving users will operate as usual. You can order, borrow and return library materials and settle your circulation card.
Departments opening hours:
- Monday, Thursday: 12:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
- Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
- Additionally, level 0 and Bistro Biblioteczka will be available throughout the summer season, Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

September 2025
New library system implementation and data migration in progress! For all WUL's employees, this is a very big challenge, considering over a million records and 14,000 users in our database – we therefore count on your understanding and support in this critical period.
You can use all our spaces for the entire month.
Collections will be available only on-site in the Free Access areas and from the reference collections in the reading rooms (unfortunately, due to data migration, we will not be able to process orders and returns until 21.09.2025).
We will be back in full strength on September 22nd – then you will be able to:
- order, lend and return books
- settle the circulation card
Additionally, throughout September we will suspend charging fees for late returns.
In short:
- 4.09–21.09.2025 – no possibility of settling circulation cards and returns!!!
- 1.09–22.09.2025 - You can use the Free Access areas, reading rooms and their reference collections on site - it is not possible to order or borrow from the storages
- 1.09–30.09.2025 – there will be no charging fees for late returns
Departments opening hours:
- Monday, Thursday: 12:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
- Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday: 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
If you have any questions, please contact the WUL's employees.
Thank you for your understanding and have a great summer!
