Why register with the Jabok Library
No registration is required for using computers with the public internet or for using library materials on site.
It is necessary to request a library card (register in the library) in order to check out library material (bring books and other materials home).
How to register

To complete the registration, it is necessary to visit the library and submit a passport or other identification document. Registration is free for Jabok students and staff. For other users, a registration fee is charged.
User can obtain the library card from the library for a fee of 10 CZK. The users can also use their own smart card as a library card (e.g., ISIC, ITIC, Lítačka, IN-karta, bus pass cards or any other library software compatible smart card that includes the user's name, address, and photo) for free.
Registration is free of charge for Jabok students and staff. Registration is valid for them until August 31 of the current year, regardless of the date of registration.
For other users, registration is valid for 12 months for a fee of 50 CZK. Registation for users with disabilities is free of charge.
