It's interesting that, at least according to the updated information on Google, you can go to 4:00 p.m., but to vote in advance on June 4, 2024, you should still be able to get here until 6:00 p.m. Such an information point. Ans covers how an out-of-towner is doing when I try after four. After all, there's still time to go to the main library to lose your voice if it doesn't work out here.

I have done business with waltti services on behalf of myself and a friend several times, and a few times the customer service was a rather grumpy older woman who always turned away and did not serve at all, saying that the fault was mine and not the card/service. Always had to come back in such a way that he is not even there, otherwise received good service and the problem was always fixed when the customer service person was cooperative.

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
