In the OUTI online library, you can search and reserve materials, renew loans, check your own personal information and pay library fees through online banking. In order to log into the online library you need, besides your library card, a PIN code, which you can apply for at any OUTI library.

You can have up to 100 loans and 100 reservations at a time. The loan periods are 28 or 14 days, except for objects, for which the loan period varies from 1 to 28 days.

The library complies with age limits for films and games, and does not lend them to customers under the age limit. For more information about age limits for games and films, please visit https://kavi.fi/en/new-age-rating-materials-in-english/.

Loans can be renewed if there are no reservations for them. You can renew a loan for up to seven times. You can renew a loan through the OUTI online library, at the library, by telephone or by e-mail.

You are responsible for renewing your loans or returning them on time. If a loan is overdue, the library will send two requests for its return. You can return loans to any OUTI library free of charge. The loan period ends on the due date at the library’s closing time.

You can opt to have an e-mail reminder of approaching due dates through the OUTI online library. The library is not responsible for overdue loans even if a reminder is not sent to or received by the customer.

If the library has a returns deposit slot, you can return materials through it, at your own risk, while the library is closed. If you return a loan through the deposit slot while the library is closed, the return is recorded the next day that the library is open.
