Overdue Fines

According to the "Library Services Directive of the Turkish-German University", approved by the Senate Decision dated 03.08.2023 and numbered 2023/99, it has been decided to impose overdue fines for books that are not returned by the due date.

As of October 10, 2023, an overdue fine of 1 TL per day will be charged for each book that is not returned on time.

Users can check whether they have any overdue fines by logging into "My Library Account" at [https://kutuphane.tau.edu.tr/], and navigating to the "Member Services – Borrow / Return – Items on Loan" section.

To avoid overdue fines, users may extend the loan period for each borrowed item once, starting 5 days before the due date, via the same section ("Items on Loan") in "My Library Account."
Upon extension, the user will be granted an additional loan period in accordance with their user category as defined in the Library Services Directive.

No further borrowing is allowed until overdue items are returned and overdue fines are paid.

Overdue fines can only be paid at the service desk of the Mevlüde Genç Library using the POS device provided by Belbim Electronic Money and Payment Services, and only via Istanbulkart.
