Welcome to Centria-Library!

Centria Library is open to all users with printed materials available for everyone to use. There is also a wide selection of domestic and international databases, search portals and electronic books and journals. These licensed services are restricted to the use of students and staff of Centria UAS.

We have libraries in both campuses in Kokkola and in Ylivieska.

You'll need to have a library card to borrow printed books from the library. You can create a library card in Tuudo app.

You can also request a card from the customer service of the library.

As a customer of the library you also have to agree to follow the library rules when receiving the card.
