Dear Readers,
We would like to inform you that our book locker is working again. We have introduced new software that allows you not only to collect your ordered books, but also to return them to the selected locker and check your account balance. 

We apologise for the fact that the implementation and testing work took so long.

If you have any difficulties using the book locker, please contact the librarians who process your orders (desk on the first floor, next to Selfcheck).

Dear Readers,
we are delighted to announce that our Green Haven  has been given a facelift – we have furnished it with comfortable and varied garden furniture, which creates a unique, relaxing atmosphere.

The terrace now features comfortable rocking chairs, corner sofas, tables that can be arranged as needed, and large, fold-out umbrellas that provide pleasant shade on hot days.
It is a space where learning meets relaxation, and a moment spent on the terrace can become the best moment of the day. 📚✨

Long holiday reading list? Borrow an e-reader from the University of Gdańsk Library. 

The holidays are the perfect time to catch up on your reading. If you have a dozen or even dozens of titles on your reading list, the weight of these books can be a problem. This is where the University of Gdańsk Library comes to the rescue!

The UG Shop, run by the University of Gdańsk Development Foundation, has acquired a new, original promotional spot produced in collaboration with the UG Film and Documentary Production Centre and the Neptun TV Study Circle.

Filmed using drones, the footage shows the daily routine of shopping at the UG Shop from an unusual aerial perspective - from the students' exit from the tram, through the journey to the UG Library, to the shop's interior. The film impresses with its modern shots and natural dynamics.
