Anyone with a valid Moravian Library reader's card. 

If it is an identical item, it is possible. The problem arises with different editions of the same title. The first copy of each title is supplied as the legal deposit and therefore cannot be loaned home.

Manuscripts and Early Printed Books reading room is open to researchers after ringing the bell located next to the door. This security of the reading room is based on the practice of domestic and foreign study rooms of this type. The reason for the increased security of the reading room is the fact that readers come into contact with rare documents here. To study these documents, researchers also require complete silence.

The RETRO status is used in our library for documents that have only been partially transcribed into the online catalogue and do not yet have a barcode. You can order these documents, but before they are loaned to you, the code will be affixed and a decision will be made as to whether the document can be loaned to your home or only to the study room.
A "binding started" status means that the unit is in the bindery, where things like repairing loose bindings or binding periodicals into larger units occur. Units are usually in this status for 14 days.
