The new printers will be introduced also in branch libraries. In the future, customers can print directly to the library's printer either from the library's computer or from their own device. The printout can be print out from the printer using the Vaski library card. Prints are paid with the balance on the library card.

With the change, printing in the library becomes even more secure, when the customer receives the printout directly from the printer. You can also set the printout in a queue and print it out of the device when it suits you best.

Identify yourself at the printer with your own library card

The service requires a Vaski library card and the associated PIN code. If the customer does not have a library card, they can apply one from the library. Before printing for the first time, the customer must identify themself once with the library's printer.

Printing is paid for with the balance on your Vaski library card

Prints and copies are paid for directly with the balance on the library card. Each library card is granted with an initial balance of 1 euro. Credit can be bought at the reception of the main library and at the customer services of the News Area and Literature and Arts department.

At the branch library, you can buy more balance at the customer service desk during service hours. During self-service time, you can print, but not buy more printing balance. In the future, it will not be possible to print on your own paper in the branch libraries.

Scanning will continue to be free. With the new multifunction devices, you can scan to e-mail or to your own memory stick when identified with a library card.
