KuvA and TeaK libraries close April 30 – students and staff, take care of your library business early
Theatre Academy and Academy of Fine Arts libraries close on April 30 due to the renovation and moving of the new Sörnäinen campus library. Uniarts students, teachers and staff, take care of your library business early.
Uniarts Helsinki library’s Theatre Academy and Academy of Fine Arts facilities will close on April 30 from all library users. Please note early closure due to May Day, and check library opening hours from Arsca. After April 30 library materials cannot be accessed until autumn, when the new Sörnäinen campus library opens. This applies to Uniarts staff and students: no exceptions because all materials are packed or stored due to the renovation and moving.
Take care of your library business before April 30 and don’t leave your visit to the last day. This way we can ensure a safe visit for all users during the COVID-19 pandemic. The reservations on materials that have not been borrowed by April 30 will be cancelled.
Library facilities in Helsinki are limited to Uniarts students and staff in April.
