Opening hours

Opening hours on holidays

  • Self-service libraries are also open on holidays and on days before midweek holidays 7 a.m.–9 p.m.
  • On days before holidays other branch libraries close 4 p.m. at latest

Apart from the Main Library, Turku has 10 branch libraries, one service point in the Skanssi shopping centre, and two mobile libraries. Aunela, Hirvensalo, Ilpoinen, Nummi, Paattinen, Vasaramäki and Yli-Maaria libraries are self-service libraries that may be used independently with a library card and the attached pincode. These can be obtained at any Vaski library.

All libraries provide newspapers and magazines, books, music, films and other materials that can either be used on the spot or borrowed home. Library premises can be used by all for study and hobbies, for joining events or simply for hanging out. The libraries also provide guided tours, information service, events, and exhibitions. You can browse our collections, renew your loans and make reservations in the Vaski online library.
