Contactless Borrowing and Returning
Smart Locker or Lending Locker is located in front of the Tartu City Library Kompanii 3 building, at our branches in Annelinn, Karlova, and Tammelinn. Book lockers are ready for use 24/7.
You can order books to the locker through e-catalogue ESTER. When ordering books, you must choose Tartu City Library's Smart Locker as the lending point.
Up to seven (7) books can be ordered at a time, taking into account the capacity of the lockers.
You can come to pick up the books after the e-mail confirmation that the book has arrived in the locker.
To get the books, you need to insert your ID card or scan the barcode of the reader's card or the student card of Tartu and follow the instructions on the Locker screen.
The ordered items will be kept in the locker for three days from the date of sending the notice. A note with a loan due date can be printed from the Locker printer.
To return the items, you must insert an ID card or scan the barcode of the reader's card or student card of Tartu and follow the instructions on the Locker screen. A note about the returned books can be printed from the Locker printer.
Books can be returned if there is free space in the Locker.
Difference from the usual lending service:
- The Smart Locker system does not allow using the cell lending service (Kärglaenutus).
- You must identify yourself when returning books.
- Up to seven (7) books can be ordered at one time.
