Renewal work started in Kumpula Campus Library

The amendment of Kumpula Campus Library will be completed during 2014. When the construction work is finished, a new, more functional learning environment is available for patrons.

During the first half-year the library operates only on the 2nd floor, where workstations and reading places are available, in addition to the collections. For the duration of the construction work, all the volumes of periodicals have to be in storage, and they are inaccessible, until the fall. Articles unavailable in electronic form can be acquired via interlibrary lending.

The construction work will cause exceptions in services and be quite noisy at times. We regret the disturbance. Free earplugs are available at the info desk. More information is available f. ex. on the blog Kumpulan kampuskirjaston remonttiblogi (in Finnish).
