No due dates in July
Loans will not be renewed automatically in summer (except for the staff of University of Oulu and Oamk), but due dates will not fall on dates in July; at the end of June, due dates will jump to the beginning of August (provided there are no reservations for the borrowed material concerned).
Please remember to renew or return your loans before they are due! You can check your due dates and renew your loans via Oula-Finna or Tuudo mobile application anywhere and anytime.
External book return boxes
- The Pegasus Library and Medical Library book return slots are in use and you can return items to them throughout the summer.
- The Health and Social Care Library book return box can be accessed during the opening hours of the Paasi building in June and in August. The campus is closed in July, so only customers who have obtained a separate electronic access key to the self-service library can return loans in July.
- The Oulainen Learning Centre book return box is not in use during the library closure 21.6.–2.8.
Please note! Items left in the returns box are checked in on the next date the library is open. See the locations of the return boxes.
