You can print out a loan slip or send it to an e-mail. It is not possible to borrow items from another service unit or reading room, to borrow items on hold for another patron, or to borrow items or the latest issues of journals from branch libraries. If you have any questions, please ask the librarian.

- pre-order books (or others) with ESTER status in the e-catalogue in advance via the website order form, e-mail or telephone.

Tallinn Libraries sell fiction (including children’s literature and poetry) and non-fiction books that are out of date, in large print or in new editions. Book prices start from € 0,15. The books on sale can be consulted at the library. The proceeds of the sale will be used to buy new books.
Libraries occasionally organise book fairs, keep an eye on our news, events calendar or join our newsletter. We also share information on our social media channels on Facebook and Instagram.
Almost all of us have books at home that we’ve read once but don’t want to read again. I’m sure there’s someone somewhere who needs that book for themselves. You can bring the book(s) you no longer need from home to our library and pick up a new one from the library’s book exchange shelf.
We offer readers the opportunity to use our group room for free. Group size up to 6 people.
