Acquisition Request Form
You can request the acquisition of material that is not owned by your own library.
Search the Web Library first to make sure the item you need is not already owned by the library.
Because of copyright reasons, libraries may not acquire all DVDs and other video material.
All requests are taken into considerations but unfortunately, everything cannot be acquired.
Library Card Application Form
Apply for a library card using this electronic form.
No separate notification will be sent to the customer when the card is ready. You can collect your card from any library three working days after submitting the form. You can apply for a card for a child only if your own details are already in the library's customer register.
You can also apply for a library card by printing out and completing a form:
Library Card Application Form (Finnish) / Registration Form / Registration Form (Russian)
The forms are printable and are not accessible. Take the completed form to any Lastu library. Present a photo ID at the customer service desk. You will be added to the library’s customer system, and you will receive your library card immediately.
The printable form is also used to apply for a library card for a student during a class visit. A guardian must complete the printable registration form in advance; an online form cannot be accepted for data security reasons. The teacher verifies the authenticity of the guardian’s signature on the paper registration form. The guardian’s details must already exist in the library’s customer database in order for a library card to be issued to the student.
Interlibrary Loan Request Form
Using this form you can send an interlibrary loan request to your library. Select the library where you would like to pick up the material.
Before submitting an interlibrary loan request, always check whether the material you need can already be found in the Lastu libraries. Only material that is not owned by any Lastu library may be requested through the interlibrary loan process.
An interlibrary loan request is binding. You will have to pay for the item even if you do not pick it up.
Check that your contact information is correct! You will be notified of an item that is ready to be picked up either by email or by text message, depending on which option you have selected in your library account.
Contact information may be changed in the Lastu web library. Log in to your account and then click on ”Profile”.
