A new library system has been procured to replace the current one. Due to the system migration, all library services are completely unavailable from 20 October to 3 November 2026.

During the library system migration:

• library branches are not accessible to the public
• customer service is closed
• mobile library services are suspended
• self-service libraries are closed
• the online library is unavailable for logins and catalogue searches
• e-resources that require a library card and PIN for access are unavailable
• book return slots are unavailable
• the acquisition of new materials is suspended
• new reservations cannot be made
• existing reservations are transferred to the new system

No due dates or reservation pick-up deadlines fall during the library closure period.

Library branches will reopen on Wednesday, 4 November 2026. Self-service library access and the web library will remain unavailable for a longer period.

Up-to-date information can be followed on the web library homepage at kuopio.finna.fi and through the library’s social media channels on Facebook and Instagram.
