We have launched an experiment in some Helle libraries to test how board games can be transported between libraries. Until now, board games could only be borrowed from each library on site, and it was not possible to place a hold on them.

Holds for games are placed in the same way as for books, i.e., by clicking the Place a hold button in the online library or by asking for the customer service to do it.

Not all Helle libraries’ board games are included in the experiment.

All board games can be found in the Helle online library.

The Kirjastokino movie service will be removed from Helle libraries’s selection on August 31, 2025. Until then, you can watch movies as usual.

In the future, Helle libraries will only have the Viddla movie service.

You can find all e-resources in Helle’s online library | Helle-kirjastot

Pick-up time for reservations will be reduced from seven to five days. However, since weekend days and closing days are not counted, the actual pick-up time is always at least seven days.   

This reform is intended to speed up the circulation of material.   

At the same time, we will introduce a new e-mail reminder for uncollected reservations. It will be sent on the day before the last pick-up day. You can choose to be reminded either in Helle-Finna online library or at the library service desk. 

The Monninkylä Library (Askola) has been closed for some time now and it has been decided to close it permanently. Its collections will be transferred to the main library and school libraries in Askola in autumn 2025.

You can no longer put holds on the resources in Monninkylä.
