Library

When selecting the library material, it is diversity, timeliness and observing the local perspective that is aimed for. The collections can be used in the library in person and almost everything is available for borrowing also home.

You have access to two different e-library services the E-library and the familiar Northern eLibrary.

You will not be able to borrow or reserve materials or renew your loans if you have unpaid fees to the amount of 15 euros or more. All accumulated library fees have to be paid at one time.

No overdue fines are collected for children’s loans or materials for children and the young. We always charge a fee for sending a return request.

In the online library you can check where a book or other item is located. After logging in, you can renew your loans and make reservations. Reserving items is free. To log in, you need a library card and a PIN code.

If you do not have a PIN or have lost your PIN, you can get one by visiting the library’s customer service. You can also request a new PIN online via the OUTI Web Library by selecting login and the link “Forgot your PIN?”. A new PIN is sent to the email address added to your contact details.
