Library services: Library card

Get a library card

You need a library card to borrow print items from the library. The same card is used in all 3AMK libraries (Haaga-Helia, Laurea, and Metropolia).

The library card is personal, and the customer is responsible for all items checked out on his or her card. Notify the library immediately if you lose your library card. You should also notify the library when your contact information changes. The library does not have access to updated address information in other systems such as that of the Academic Affairs Office.
