1. General Provisions 

The “Stevan Jorgović” Library (hereinafter: the Library) is open to all users who agree to comply with these regulations.

The Library is managed by a librarian appointed by the Serbian Church and School Congregation (SCSC).

The Library’s working hours and contact information are available on the official website.

2. Membership and Library Use

To register as a member, prospective users must provide personal information and present a valid photo ID with an address.

Membership and the use of library materials are free of charge.

Minors may become members with the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

3. Borrowing Materials

Users may borrow up to 3 items (e.g., 3 books, or 2 books and 1 disc) at a time.

The borrowing period is 4 weeks, with a one-time renewal for an additional 4 weeks.

Renewals must be requested before the original due date, via message or email.

Late returns incur a fee of $0.50 per day per item ($3.50 per week).

Users must settle all outstanding fees before borrowing additional materials.

4. User Responsibilities

Users are responsible for returning borrowed materials in the same condition as when borrowed.

For materials borrowed by minors, the parent or guardian is held accountable.

In case of damage or loss:

• - The user must replace the item with an identical copy, or
• - Provide an equivalent item in agreement with the librarian, or
• - Pay the full replacement value (without discount).
• - If a disc case is damaged, the user must replace it.

5. Donations

The Library gratefully accepts donations of books, and other relevant materials.

All donations must be discussed with the librarian beforehand.

The librarian reserves the right to assess the suitability and value of donated items for the Library’s collection.

The Library does not accept duplicate titles already in its holdings, nor items in poor physical condition (e.g., worn, torn, stained, or heavily marked books).

We are especially interested in:

• - Works by contemporary or classical Serbian authors,
• - Translations of international bestsellers,
• - Publications related to Serbia, Serbian culture, history, or society.

Donations are not automatically included in the collection — donated items may be used for exchange, gifts, or removal, depending on the Library’s needs.

Quiet behavior, respect for other users, and for library staff are expected at all times.

Food and drinks are not allowed in the library.

Use of mobile phones for voice calls is prohibited.
