What is self-service library?

You can visit the library within self-service library hours, check them from Karelia-Finna. Watch this YouTube video about borrowing library materials and returning loans at the self-service library.

When the self-service library is open, you can:

• Borrow the library materials by yourself by using lending machines. You have to have the library card to do so. There are two lending machines at the library.
• Return your loans by putting the loans into the green return shelf (when you visit the library). You can always use the automated return machine outside the library (it is available 24/7).
• Study at the library facilities. We have for example a silent study room, where you can study individually (pair or group work is not allowed there). 
  • Familiarize yourself with the library rules, which have been made together with the students. (You will find them at the end of this part.)
  • Please take other library users into account while using the library facilities.

Consider Others
