03.06.2025 – During the summer, only the study room at Celetná 13 will be open

The library at M. Rettigové 4 will be closed, along with the entire building, starting from July 1, 2025. It will reopen no earlier than the second half of September. Due to reconstruction, access to the books at M. Rettigové 4 will not be possible during this entire period.

June will therefore be the last opportunity to stock up on books for the autumn (e.g., for exams or the winter semester). We are currently extending the loan period for all books until October 1, 2025.

Good news: The study room in Celetná 13 will remain open throughout the entire period, every working day from 9 AM to 3 PM. Printing, ring binding and other usual services will be available there.

An exception will be July 17 and 18, 2025, when the Celetná study room will be closed due to the regular library collection inventory.

15.05.2025 – Book Smart Lockers Temporarily in the Entrance Hall

Although the reconstruction of the Library of the Faculty of Education is not yet underway, some construction work will affect the area in front of the library. Therefore, we have temporarily moved the book smart lockers to the entrance hall. We apologize for any inconvenience.
