Restrictions to making reservations

Due to excessive amount of reservations, we advice you to consider not making new reservations to material that's on shelf. You'll also get the item quicker by collecting it from the library shelf yourself once the libraries are opened again. We have also had to completely prevent reserving some material in our collection. You may still make reservations to items that are on order or lent out.

Now is the time to get familiar with e-resources

You can visit us on the web any time. In Vaski web library you can find interesting e-resources, only a few clicks ahead. You have access to the resources with your library card and PIN.
