Starting from Tuesday, November 19th, you will need a PIN code in addition to your library card when borrowing materials from self-service machines. The PIN code is the same one you use to log into the online library or when using self-service libraries. The use of a PIN code also applies to child customers.
You do not need a library card or PIN code to return loans.
If you do not yet have a PIN code, you can get one from the library or through the “Forgot your PIN code?” link in the Lumme-Finna online library. For this, you will need a valid email address. You can still borrow without a PIN code at the library’s customer service.
The introduction of the PIN code improves the security of the library card and makes it more difficult to misuse a lost card. The customer’s name or contact information will not be displayed on the borrowing machines.
