news

Kuopio Library is closed 30.5.-9.8., Helsinki campus libraries 19.6.-9.8.

20.5. updated August opening hours.

The Uniarts Helsinki Library will soon close its doors for the summer holidays. The Campus Libraries in Helsinki close June 19 and Kuopio Library closes May 30. The library opens again on August 10.

In both Töölö and Sörnäinen, the self-service library is open in August according to the opening hours of the premises. The opening hours of the self-service library in August will be announced later.

There are changes in the opening hours of all library units before the summer closure so make sure check the opening hours on Arsca front page before visiting the library. Note that the Töölö Campus Library is accessed via the Töölönlahdenkatu 16 C door between 6th and 18th June.

Please make sure that you borrow the material you need during the summer well in advance. Loans do not expire during the summer closure.

As an employee or student of Uniarts Helsinki, you can use your Uniarts credentials to access the library’s e-materials, such as e-books and magazines, anywhere in the world. The library guide provides information on using e-materials.

If you have received an invoice from the library for unreturned loans, do not pay the invoice if you still have the materials, but return them as soon as possible after opening by August at the latest. You can also return the materials to the library by post. In this case, the materials will remain under your responsibility until they have been marked as returned by the library. Our postal address can be found on the library website. If the loans are lost, you can pay the invoice, but the loans will not be removed from your data until August. Unpaid invoices will not be transferred to collection during the summer closure.

Have a nice summer!
