The library does not interlibrary loan:

• Books that can be found at the Anna Lindh Library. This applies even if the book is on loan.

• Fiction other than for research purposes.
• Books for students, if the book is available at another library in downtown Stockholm.

The loan period for books is 28 days. The loan period is automatically extended every four weeks up to 6 times, provided that the book is not reserved. Renewals can also be made on the library's website via the link My loans.

Book loans are free of charge. Article copies cost SEK 100 per article.
