Library usage regulations

A library regulations a library governs the legal relationship between the library and its users. It is regulated as a statute in public-law libraries and clarifies all legal questions that arise in the provision of literature and media. As a legal basis for authorizing the library to intervene in the legal positions of readers, it contains, for example, provisions on damages.

In Bavaria, the ABOB, the general usage regulations of the Bavarian State Libraries, is regulated as an ordinance. In libraries organized under private law, the usage regulations are set out in general terms and conditions.

Sometimes, in a misleading way, the term “ library regulations ” is used synonymously with the term “usage regulations”.
