My loans

All libraries have self-service machines. You borrow yourself with your personal identity number or FHS account name and your pin code.

The loan period for general literature is 28 days.

For the course literature that is taught on the "Civil" programs/courses, 10-day loans apply.

In "My loans" you can extend your loans a maximum of 6 times , provided that the book is not reserved by anyone else.

Renew books

You can primarily renew your book via the My Loans service. You can also turn to our information service by, for example, emailing. If it is not possible to renew a book, it may be because:

• The book is reserved
• The maximum limit for renewals has been reached
• that your loan account needs to be extended

In "My loans" you can make changes to your loan account, reserve books, renew loans and see the book's return date.

Books available at the main library cannot be reserved.

If the book is on loan, you can reserve it. You can also reserve books that are placed in the stacks or at Karlberg or the Armed Forces headquarters.

How do I reserve a book?

1. Look up the book in Primo.
2. Click on Reserve and fill out the form that appears. You will be contacted by email when the book is available for collection. Note that you must choose to pick up the book at a library that you have permission to visit.
3. Reserved books can be picked up from the reservation shelf in the library. You must then borrow the book from the loan machine.
