The following opening hours will be in effect from 1 Sept to 31 Dec 2026. During the autumn season, self-service hours will be extended in all self-service libraries. In most libraries, self-service hours will be extended by one hour in both the morning and the evening. During independent use hours, the library doors are open, but services are on a self-service basis. During self-service hours, the library doors can be opened with a library card.

Exceptional opening hours

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

On Fri 30 October, the libraries will be closed, with the exception of the main library Metso, for a staff training day.
