Instructions on how to reserve Team study rooms, Individual carrels and workstation/machines in the Polytechnic Workshop.

If you cannot get into a reserved study room, call 232 002 981 or contact a library staff member.
For Polytechnic Workshop call 232 002 586.

Reservation System - Team Study Rooms

Team study rooms can be reserved online by users of designated patron groups depending on the period for which the reservation is made (Winter Semester, Summer Semester, or summer period). The minimum reservation duration of one hour is the same for all customer categories and team study rooms.

A sufficient balance in your financial account is required to make a reservation. 

Newly registered users and users with a newly activated chip ID card can reserve study rooms up to one hour after their registration/activation of the new chip ID card (due to the time delay in updating library systems).

For the period from July 27, 2026, to September 14, 2026, when we are transitioning to the new reservation system, please reserve:

For the period from September 15, 2026, reserve all team study rooms already in the new reservation system Rezervák NTK. The operation of the old Reservation system will be terminated on September 15, 2026.

Reservation System - Individual Carrels

Only Patrons in designated patron groups are authorised to use carrels, depending on the period for which the rental is required (winter semester, summer semester or summer period).

Carrel rentals may only be arranged through the online reservation system (see How to Reserve a Carrel).

  9. Before submitting your reservation, you must tick the black box to confirm that you agree to the General Rules for the Use of Individual Carrels.

  11. At this point, your reservation is complete, and you can proceed to make further reservations (“New reservations”) or edit the reservations already made (“Go to order detail”).

  13. You can view all your reservations at any time via the “Reservations overview” button.

In case of Individual Carrel rental for Patrons with disabilities (carrels no. 7 and 21), the Patron must present (upon request, while using the carrel) documentation proving his/her disability (e.g., a Czech social security disability document, another proof of disability, a disability Insurance card, or a medical report).

You can check your Patron/User group after logging in to your NTK account on the Main account page. Your Patron group may be changed on providing the relevant documentation at the Information desks on Floors 1 or 2 during Patron services hours.
