Občan třetí země, který doloží dlouhodobý pobyt v ČR, obdrží přístup pouze k části absenčního fondu.¹

Libraries in Czech Republic discriminate people based on their citizenship. Not surprised. Not the only library, actually, MZK in Brno behaves like shit in this regard, too.

@oleksandr I bet the books you aren't allowed to borrow are Czech cookbooks. Can't give up the secrets of the tasty cuisine to foreigners, sorry!

@vbabka It seems those books are not available to the Czechs either. Maybe a special permit from StB is needed.

@oleksandr they got some prior bad experience since some eastern migrant, that was not a person of high education, who borrowed a shitload of books from the university library but didn't return them for two years because being a stupid pleb he didn't have an access to the building without a student card
