Rules and regulations
These are the rules for use of the resources of the library
In Rules and Regulations for Ikast-Brande Bibliotek, you can read the rules for use of the resources of the library. On a general basis it is free to use the resources, but in the case of special services such as print and copying you will have to pay a small amount for each copy. Participation in events may also have a charge. In special cases a deposit may be charged for borrowing, for instance if you are not registered in the Danish national register.
You are always welcome to make use of the resources of the library even if you are not a registered user. At the library you may read newspapers and books, use our wireless access to the Internet, work on your assignment, or participate in events.
How long can I keep the borrowed materials?
Normally, you can keep the borrowed material for 30 days. Some materials for only 14 days. The return date for your loans will appear from your loans receipt or from your library record found at your user profile on ikast-brandebibliotek.dk. It can also be found in the Biblioteket app.
Can I renew one or more loans?
You can renew materials not reserved by other users. You can renew up to three times. Some materials cannot be renewed.
It is your responsibility to return the materials at the end of the borrowing period, even if you are not able to renew the loan.
Fines will be charged on the day after expiry of the lending period. See list of fines here.
If you renew too late, a fine is charged.
How do I make a reservation for books, films, games, magazines?
You can make a reservation at ikast-brandebibliotek.dk or www.bibliotek.dk.
If you have informed us of your Danish cellphone number or your email you will be notified via SMS or email when you can pick up the material.
If we do not have the materials you need, we will try to get them from another library. If you do not want the materials after all, please cancel them. You can do this on your user profile at ikast-brandebibliotek.dk
If I return the materials after expiration of the lending period?
If you return the materials too late, you must pay an overdue fine.

Children don’t get fees for returning books late, we do appreciate that you return on time.
Notice: Due to copyright obligations, the replacement cost of DVD's, CD's and games can be up to DKK 4000.
We can offer a reminder service three days before expirations of the loan via SMS or email, if you have informed us of your Danish cellphone number or your email. However, it is still your responsibility to return materials on time, even if for some reason you did not receive the message.
The return receipt is your documentation for having returned the materials. Therefore, when returning materials please check that the number of returned materials corresponds to the number on the return receipt.
If I lose borrowed materials?
You are responsible for materials borrowed on your sundhedskort (yellow card) or library card. So, when borrowing the material please check if it has any defects. You must compensate the damaged and/or lost materials.
NB! The initial cost for certain materials (such as films on DVD and computer games) is considerably higher than the retail price because of copyright. In some cases, the price can be up to DKK 4,000. You cannot buy a material in a shop in order to replace the lost and/or damaged material.
The library assumes no liability to pay damages for breakdown on playback equipment caused by library materials.
When the lending period is more than 30 days overdue, we consider the material lost and will send you a bill with replacement cost and fine of the borrowed material. It is not possible to get the amount refunded if you find the missing material at a later time.
When you have paid the bill, you can pick up the damaged material up to month later.
Can I loose the right to borrow?
If you repeatedly fail to return borrowed materials or return the materials in a damaged condition, you may lose the right to borrow. The same applies if you owe a fine of more than DKK 220. When you have paid the fines due, you can borrow again.
