How to return loans when you have a HAMK key card
If you have a HAMK key card, you can return your loans with the self-check machine in the nearest campus library. You can find campus library addresses here. Inter-library loans can be returned like regular loans.
There are also return boxes next to campus library doors. If you return your loans there, they will stay in your check out items information until the library staff visits that campus in August.
How to return loans when you don’t have a HAMK key card
The library’s outdoor return box is in Hämeenlinna University Centre: building D, in Visakaarre street, next to the main entrance. Please do not leave books outside the box if it’s full. Unfortunately, other campuses do not have outdoor book return boxes.
It is also possible to mail books. In this case, please contact HAMK library customer service hamk.kirjasto@hamk.fi first for further instructions.
