(5) The repeated loan in accordance with paragraph (1) fulfils and terminates the original loan contract and constitutes a new loan contract. Article 41 Article omitted. Article 42 Reserving library units (1) Readers may reserve a future loan of a library unit except for library units only intended for on-site loans. The reservation can be made in any library, except for those library units which can only be reserved in a certain library [Article 37 paragraph (2)]. (2) The MLP carries out the reservation upon reader request. The reader may lodge a reservation personally in a library or in another way enabling a check of the reader’s identity. (3) When a reader makes a reservation, the reader also accepts the obligation to pay the MLP costs related to the reservation of the library item. These costs must be paid before the reserved library item is issued. The amount of this fee is defined in Article VI of the Appendix to these Library Rules. (4)
Upon lodging a reservation the reader must state the date until which he or she is interested in the re-served library unit. If this period of time expires in vain, the reservation ceases to exist and so does the obligation to pay for the costs pursuant to paragraph (3).
(5) The MLP may cancel the reservation of a library unit which has become permanently unavailable. In this case the reader’s obligation to pay for the costs pursuant to paragraph (3) cease to exist. The MLP shall inform the reader about the cancellation of the reservation immediately and at its own expenses. (6) Holders of TP, ZTP or ZTP-P passes shall not be charged the costs according to paragraph (3) for the first 100 reservations made in one calendar year, except for the costs for sending a message confirming the reservation by mail. Article 43 (1) If the same library unit is reserved by several readers, the first one to have lodged the reservation shall be served first. (2)
The MLP shall inform the reader about the fulfilment of the reservation by an entry in the reader’s account and, if required, in writing in a manner selected by the reader upon lodging the reservation (by a letter sent by mail or by e-mail).
(3) Paragraph omitted. (4) The MLP shall not be held responsible for a failure or delay of the delivery of the letter by mail. This does not apply to failures or delays of delivery caused by a fault on the part of the MLP. (5)
As soon as the reserved library unit is ready to be borrowed (the reservation has been fulfilled), the read-er has the right of priority to borrow the unit. This right shall last for one week and shall be prolonged to two weeks if the reader requested that a hard copy written message be sent 18
