USER SERVICE RULES

General

Each citizen has the right to use library services. For the purpose they have to register as library users.
User registration observes the following conditions:
• Adult citizens register by producing their identity cards.
• Children and adolescents from 6 to 14 years of age register with their parent’s or guardian’s identity card.
• Citizens without a permanent address in Plovdiv can register as library users after leaving a money deposit, the amount of which is determined annually with a Director’s ordinance. A receipt is written out for the deposited sum. The deposit is refunded after the citizens declare that they have acquired a permanent address registration or want to cancel their library registration and produce the receipt and a certificate from the Reader Service that they have checked in all borrowed materials.
• Bulgarian citizens who are not residents of Plovdiv are registered according to the general rules, but they can use only the library reading-rooms and cannot check out books. This applies to foreign citizens as well.
