Can you send me a book on loan to an address outside of Spain?

Sending a book on loan to a home address through the UOC is restricted to Spain and Andorra.
I can't come in person to pick up a book I want to borrow. Can I authorize someone to pick it up for me?

If you cannot collect the document in person at the chosen UOC centre, you must authorize a person in writing to collect the book. However, you will still be the person ultimately responsible for the document.
What happens if I return a book late?

You will receive a reminder at your UOC email address before the loan due date. If you're late returning a title, the service will be temporarily suspended by one calendar day per book, per day of delay.
