The summer opening hours of the main library are valid until the end of August.
During June, July, and August, our hours will be as follows:
Since the end of June, the Ellibs service has no longer been among the services at the Lastu libraries. Replacing Ellibs as the e-book service, library customers can now use E-library, a joint service of Finnish public libraries, which was opened in the spring.
Lastu libraries have terminated the Ellibs e-book service as the joint E-library was opened. The Ellibs service is no longer available to Lastu library customers.
From now on, the E-library can be used by our customers. More material will be continually added to the service. Lastu library customers can borrow e-books and e-audiobooks and read digital replicas of Finnish magazines using the E-library application, which can be downloaded from the App store of your mobile device.
You will find more detailed information about the e-materials on our web pages: E-materials at the Lastu libraries
Starting June 1. 2024, there will be changes to the parking time limits at the Main Library's customer parking area.
To increase turnover in the parking spots, the two-hour parking spaces will be changed to one-hour spaces. The thirty-minute parking spots will remain the same. The goal of these changes is to promote more efficient parking.
Customer parking spots at the Main Library from June 1, 2024:
Please note that parking is only permitted for those visiting the Main Library.

National E-Library opened on April 29, 2024 and it's now available to library customers.
The National E-library is a joint service for Finnish municipalities. It is provided by the National Library of Finland together with Finnish public libraries. Via this service customers can borrow e-books, e-audiobooks and Finnish digital journals. New material is being added to the E-library all the time. So, there will be something new to read and listen to every week.
The E-library is available through an E-library application, which can be installed on mobile devices. E-library applications can now be downloaded from app stores. The service is safe and free of charge. To register in the service for the first time, strong authentication is required. You need Finnish bank credentials to use the service.
