Change in textbook loan period on the city centre campus

Starting in August, the textbook collection in Kaisa House will have a loan period of two weeks (14 days). The collection has previously contained both 28 day and 14 day loans. The change is intended to make books circulate faster so that as many students as possible can get the books they need.

If you have textbook loans from Kaisa House in August, you will be able to renew them as usual, but the loan period will be 14 days. The short-term loans will continue to have a loan period of 2 days.
