Reminder fees

If the loan period is exceeded, a written reminder will be sent for the return of the books or media units. The reminders are subject to a fee.

The basis for charging fees is the fee schedule for the libraries of the Freie Universität Berlin.

Late fees for late returns will be charged as follows:

The reminder fees per volume or media unit for the 1st reminder are:	2,00 €
for the 2nd reminder 5,00 € plus 2,00 € of the first reminder:	7.00 €
for the 3rd reminder € 10.00 plus € 7.00 of the first and second reminder, The 3rd reminder shall be sent by registered mail with advice of receipt or by another delivery method.	17.00 €
after the 3rd reminder has failed, a performance notice will be issued. The notice of performance shall be sent by registered mail with advice of receipt or by another delivery method.	20,00 €

The handling fee for book replacements will also be increased:

10,00 € (replacement by the user)

20,00 € (procurement by the library)

The reminder fees are due when the reminder is issued. Reminders will be issued at regular intervals.
