- Kuopio Campus Library will be closed from 6 July to 26 July 2026. Please prepare for the closure by obtaining a personal access badge in advance. The badge allows you to enter the library outside its opening hours. Fill in the form to apply the access no later than Wednesday 8 July. The last opportunity to collect an access badge from Key Services before their summer closure is Thursday 9 July from 9.00 to 12.00.
- Whichever campus library you use, please note that during the Kuopio closure, materials will not be transported between the Joensuu and Kuopio campus libraries. Reserve any books you need well in advance. The loan periods at both locations will extend beyond the Kuopio closure period.
- During the closure period, returns in Kuopio can be left in the book drop hatch at the A‑door of the Snellmania building, or in the hatch located in front of the library inside the building. With an access badge, you can return items directly to the library’s return machine. At the Joensuu campus library, you can return books as usual.
- Interlibrary services will be closed from 6 July to 2 August 2026. Please submit interlibrary loan requests well in advance.
We will monitor the library service email accounts as usual during the summer. The library bot Uffe is available 24/7 to assist with common questions on the library website and in UEF Primo.
We welcome feedback on opening hours and other services via our online form.
