2. Rules for the use of the WUL's Local Lending Department

1. Books returned by Users are quarantined for 4 days and will be marked in the computer catalog with the status: "in quarantine". Books with the status "available" can be ordered through a user account in the online catalog.

2. Due to the ongoing epidemiological threat, taking care of the safety of both Users and the Library's employees, please exercise extreme caution when moving around in the WUL's building and comply with the following rules:
   

   • users who go only to the Local Lending Department are not obliged to leave their outerwear and bags/backpacks etc. in self-service lockers.

   • using protective masks and disinfecting your hands as soon as you enter the building is obligatory (gloves are also recommended).

   • in the Local Leanding Department there will be 2 service points marked as follows:
     1. Only LEANDING (1 point)
     2. RETURNS AND LEANDING (1 point)

   • Users approach the counter singly, go to the right point and follow the instructions of the librarian. User place returned books personally in a separate box, which, after filling, is put away for mandatory quarantine.

In order to ensure the comfortable use of the University Library's departments, we ask all users to follow the above recommendations.
