Independent use and self-service opening hours

During independent use hours, the library is open, but you can use the library independently. During self-service hours, the libraries are not staffed and the PIKI library card and PIN code are required to open the library doors.

Use of self-service libraries

You can only use Tampere's self-service libraries during self-service hours if you are registered as a customer of the self-service libraries. Read more about registration at the link below.

Exceptional opening hours

Libraries are closed on public holidays. On the eve of a public holiday, libraries will close at 17.00 at the latest or at the normal closing time if earlier. Mobile libraries stop running at 16.00.
