The new building for the National Repository Library will be completed in December 2024, and the move to the new premises will begin in January 2025. The extensive relocation project will be carried out by Suomen Muuttofirma. The contractor was selected through a competitive bidding process. Eight months have been allocated for the move.

The reception of all materials has been completely suspended until further notice due to our upcoming move. If your library has an urgent need to send small amounts of material, please contact us in advance via email at varkirja(at)nrl.fi.

Customer and interlibrary loan services will be suspended in the current premises as of 23rd December 2024 until further notice. During the move, we will not be able to accept materials for transfer, send interlibrary loans, or receive returns. We will provide updates on the continuation of services on our website as the move progresses in 2025.

To ensure a smooth relocation, we wish that your library loans would return to us by 23rd of December 2024.

The loan periods for interlibrary loans from the National Repository Library have been extended until August 29th, 2025, due to our relocation. However, overdue loans or loans that have already been renewed the maximum number of times are not automatically renewed in the batch process.

We kindly ask you to address this by either renewing or returning the loans.
