If you lose or irreparably damage a library item, you must replace it with an identical item or one recognised by the library as equivalent (the procedure for recognising equivalent items is outlined in Order No. V-58 of the Library Director, dated 31 October 2017).

If replacement is not possible, you are required to compensate for the damage in accordance with the procedure for compensation for lost or irreparably damaged items in the Oak Grove Library, as approved by the Director’s Order No. V-83, dated 12 December 2018.

If library materials (equipment) are lost due to fire, theft, or similar circumstances, and you provide a document confirming this issued by the relevant authorities, you will be exempt from compensation (including replacing the items with identical or equivalent ones).

Late fees begin to accrue on the next library business day after the loan period expires.

The late fee is €0.03 per item for each library business day.

Readers under the age of 16 are not charged late fees for overdue items; however, they will be temporarily restricted from borrowing items to take home (depending on the length of the overdue period, but for no longer than 6 months).

For more information, please refer to the Library’s Rules and Regulations.

The Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a form of collaboration between libraries, where one library lends documents to another or provides copies of document excerpts. If you cannot find the publication you need at your library, you can order books or article copies to the Oak Grove Library from the collections of libraries in other cities.

You can place an order yourself on ibiblioteka.lt, contact a reference librarian in the Silent Reading Room (Radastų St. 2, 3rd floor), or via email at tba@azuolynobiblioteka.lt.

The service is free when ordering publications from public libraries in Lithuania. A fee is required only if you want to receive document copies.

To book an individual room, visit the library’s website at azuolynobiblioteka.lt and click on “Reservations”. On the opened page, select the desired room, choose the meeting time, and fill in your contact information. Pick up/return the room key at the Information Desk on the 2nd floor of Radastų St. 2.
