Do the following
You can get a library card by visiting the library and showing some ID. The Helle Libraries accept the following forms of ID:
- EU countries’ identification documents
- passport
- Finnish driving licence
- photographic Kela card (for under-18s, a Kela card without a photograph is also accepted)
- resident’s card from a reception centre in Finland
- Residence permit issued by the Finnish Immigration Service
The first library card is free. A child under the age of 15 needs a parent’s or guardian’s written consent to get a library card.
You can also apply for a library card online in Sipoo My Services available at the Sipoo municipality website. Please note that the library card application form is only available for the Finnish and Swedish language versions of the service.
To whom and on what terms
You can visit the library freely and use materials like books, magazines and digital materials, e-magazines and databases. For checking out material you need a library card. The library card's number together with your PIN works as an identifier when using digital services.
Every library has its own rules. The rules define users' rights and duties.
