Useful information about the E-library

The E-library is so far only available by downloading the app on your phone or tablet. The app will be available in the App stores as of April 29, 2024.

Using the E-library app for the first time requires strong authentication. After that, the app does not require a separate login.

The customer’s right to use the E-library depends on whether their municipality of residence has joined the E-library. If your municipality of residence according to the Finnish Population Information System has not joined the E-library, you cannot use the E-library services. All Anders municipalities have joined the E-library.
