Borrowing & Late Fee Policy

How long you can keep a book, how weekly charges work, and what happens with late, lost or damaged books.

1. Due date

Every book is due on the coming Sunday (11:59 PM IST). A book borrowed on a Sunday is due that same day.

2. Weekly charge

• The weekly price per book is shown on the website. It is deducted every Monday at 12:00 AM while you hold the book.
• If you hold a book past Sunday, it simply continues to be charged weekly. There is no separate late-fee percentage.
• A plan or pass can discount the weekly charge while you hold fewer books than the plan allows.

3. Returning a book

Press “Request return” in My books, then hand the book back at the library. The weekly charge stops once the library marks the book as returned. Requesting a return does not stop charges by itself.

4. Reminders

On Saturday we remind you about books due on Sunday, by notification and email (if you have email notifications on).

5. Lost or damaged books

If a book is lost or damaged beyond normal wear, we will contact you with the book's replacement cost before any charge is made. You may pay it from your wallet or directly at the library.

6. Limits

You can hold one copy of a title at a time. If you have a plan, you can hold up to the number of books the plan allows; without a plan, limits depend only on your wallet minimum.
