You need a library card to borrow. You can get a digital library card from the Tuudo app or a plastic card from the service desk of the Haaga-Helia, Laurea or Metropolia libraries. As a student or staff member of Metropolia, you can use the library card in the Tuudo mobile app.
If you are a student, activate your Tuudo library card without visiting the library. No other library card is needed!
You can use your card for borrowing on the spot. Connect your card with MetCat Finna to be able to make reservations.

We have two loan periods
You can order material from one Haaga-Helia, Laurea or Metropolia library to another. Some materials are borrowed only to the students and staff of Metropolia.
Haaga-Helia’s Vierumäki campus library sends books only if other libraries don’t have copies in their collections. Books in Vierumäki’s collection LPT-kurssikirjat are loaned only to students of Sport Institute of Finland and not sent to other libraries.
One customer can have a maximum of 100 loans at a time. If you already have a maximum number of loans, you will be able to loan (or collect reservations) only after returning some of your loans.
Sometimes borrowing is not successful even if your library card is valid and you have entered the correct pin code.
In such cases
You can make reservations in MetCat Finna 24/7.
Return or renew your loans by the due date.
You can return your loans to any Haaga-Helia, Laurea or Metropolia library during the service and self-service hours.
IF you have a certificate of reading disability or the right to use Celia's audiobooks, you are entitled to two weeks' loans with a four-week loan period.
You can be granted extended borrowing rights either when you register as a Celia customer or directly at the library when you present proof of a reading disability.
See the instructions on OMA-intranet.

Reminders are sent only by email.
After the final reminder, you are unable to renew your loans. Your borrowing rights are suspended, as your fines have exceeded the limit of €15. Without borrowing rights you are unable to make reservations, borrow library material or renew your loans.
If you only have unpaid overdue fines, we will not use a collection agency.
During the long holiday periods (New Year, summer) the transition to a collection agency will be delayed. If necessary, please contact the Metropolia library, or send an email to the library (at) metropolia.fi
If you have not returned your loans within 14 days after the final reminder, the matter is referred to the collection agency, Lowell Finland.
We will send you a text message before the case goes to the collection agency. Late fees alone will not be collected.
If you received a text message
The collection agency will send you two invoices once the case has been transferred to them. After that, you can only make payments through them. Once you have received the invoice, you can still return the invoiced material to the library.
If you have received an invoice from the collection agency and the loans in question are with you
If you received a bill from a collection agency but cannot find the loans in question
If you have any questions after receiving your invoice, please contact the collection agency. If you have overdue loans from other 3AMK libraries, they will be billed separately.
Once you have paid your invoice and Lowell Finland informs the library of the payment, you will get your borrowing rights back.
