Renewing loans and overdue charge
There are several ways to extend the deadline of the book:
- use self-service My ESTER
- send us an e-mail
- call us
- come to the library with your books
You cannot extend the deadline of:
- magazines, newspapers
- if the deadline has passed
- if the book has a waiting list
- if the reader card has expired
- if you have already extended the deadline four times

Payment for delayed time
A fee for delayed time or intrest, if the borrowed book (or other) return date has been exceeded:
- up to 30 days – 3 cents per day per book
- more than 30 days – 6 cents per day per book
You can pay the interest after returning the book:
- in the library by card or cash payment
- by a bank transfer to Tallinn City Office bank account. Information about the payment will reach the library with a reference, usually within the next library working day. After receiving confirmation from our accounts, we will clear the interest amount.
If you are not 18 years old, you can read a book instead of paying overdue charges.
