Service points are meant to provide access to important information during state emergency. Please consider carefully when planning to visit. All the books are placed in plastic bags without human to human contact, all surfaces are constantly disinfected and returned books are placed in an 72-hour quarantine, the library cannot ensure complete safety due to other visitors in the same space who might be infected.
We request that you disinfect your hands when you enter and leave the service point, keep your distance from other visitors and do everything else that is possible to ensure both your safety and the safety of other people. We strongly advise you to cancel your visit to the service point if you are sick or feeling unwell. Librarians have the right to turn away visitors who show any symptoms.
Service points of Department of Estonian Literature, Department of Foreign Literature and Kännukuke Library also provide daily newspapers for reading on the spot and if really necessary access to computers for 15 minutes (contacting hospitals, cancelling appointments etc). Note that this service is not present at Paepealse Library.
