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, 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 upcoming relocation also effects on how long we can receive materials from other libraries.

###

We will receive books and and magazines as usual until August. Regarding music materials, we will only accept items marked with the sending library’s Vaari ownership or LowTag labels before the move to the new premises. We will provide more information later

The National Repository Library’s interlibrary loan service operates as usual for the time being. We will inform well in advance of any changes related to the interlibrary loan service.
