Account

You can get an account for the online catalogue by presenting your identification in person. When you log in for the first time, a Finna account will be automatically created for you.


Reservations

Books can be reserved through Finna or by contacting the library directly. We only lend books, not journals or newspapers. If another customer makes a reservation on a book that is on loan, the borrower cannot renew the loan.


Loan Renewals

The loan period for books is four weeks. Loans can be renewed either through the online catalogue or by contacting the library. If there are no reservations on the loan, the loan can be renewed.


Interlibrary Loans

Interlibrary loans mean the lending of material between libraries. We deliver interlibrary loans to other libraries free of charge. Interlibrary loans are always made through the library from which the book is ordered. Other libraries may charge for interlibrary loans according to their own pricing. If you want to borrow a book as an interlibrary loan, please make a request through your own library.


Journals

We do not lend journals or newspapers to customers, but they can be read in the library and customers can take copies of articles. We also send articles from scientific journals, periodicals, and general magazines to customers by email. Please contact us if you find an article that you would receive to have an electronic copy of.


Storage

If you want to borrow or explore materials located in the library's storage, please contact the library in advance.


Acquisition requests
