Printing and copying in libraries

You can print in all libraries in Tampere except Koukkuniemi Library. Most libraries have a multi-functional device for printing, copying and scanning.
A PIKI library card is required to use the multi-functional device. You can also use an electronic library card. Before the first use, the customer must register their library card in the system using a multi-functional device.
There is a charge for printing and copying. Scanning to a memory stick or e-mail is free of charge.
Copies and prints are charged to the library card
Copies and prints are paid for by the balance on the library card. Each card has a starting balance of 1 euro. Additional balances can be loaded at almost all libraries (except in Koukkuniemi, Nekala and Terälahti) by card payment. Furthermore, cash can be used for payment in Metso, Hervanta, Koilliskeskus and Tesoma.
You can use the multi-functional device to check the amount of your card balance for copying and printing.
Please note that the balance on your library card can only be used to pay for copies and prints. Print balances, once loaded, are not refundable.
Please ask the staff for guidance if necessary. For detailed instructions on printing, copying and scanning, please refer to the multi-functional device.
