According to the plan, the new construction for the National Repository Library is expected to be completed by the end of 2024, and the construction project has progressed according to schedule. It seems we should be able to start the relocation between the years 2024-2025 as planned.

###

To ensure a smooth relocation, we have been working with the collections since last summer. During the ongoing spring and summer, we are preparing the procurement for the move. After the procurement process, during the upcoming fall, we can provide more detailed information about the relocation schedules.

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.

The National Repository Library’s interlibrary loan service operates as usual until the 23rd of December.

Our new construction for NRL is expected to be completed by the end of 2024, and after that, we can start packing the collection for the relocation.

Thus, to ensure a smooth relocation, we wish that your library loans would return to us by 29^th of November 2024. If a customer needs to keep a loan longer, we will provide an extended loan period for the borrowed material, which will extend beyond our move next year.

We will inform well in advance of any changes related to the interlibrary loan service.
