Fines are charged for overdue books, Inter-Library Loans, working papers, DVDs, locker keys.
It is your responsibility to manage your library borrowing and to renew or return your books on time.
Check your Library account for current loans, and any outstanding fines. All users, whether researchers or staff, are liable for fines.
Fines are calculated automatically on the basis of the number of days an item is overdue and the type of material. The days the EUI is closed are not taken into account for this purpose.
The EUI Library supports a diverse community of users, some of whom may not be eligible to borrow books. Fines are essential to uphold accountability and ensure that resources remain available to all users.
Any queries on fines should be sent to [email protected]

€0.50 per day for first 2 weeks;
