Christmas & New Year's at the library

Published: 2024-12-09

During the holidays, KIB has changed opening hours and services.

Season greetings

Opening hours during the holidays 

During the period 21 December to 6 January the Library is closed for public visitors without access to extended opening hours. Students and staff with a KI card can access the library and borrow books every day between 7:00–22:00 

You can reach us on chat, phone and email as regular until 20 December. From 21 Our digital support is closed 21/12-1/1 and 6/1. It will therefore take longer time to get a reply from us during the holidays.  

Our drop-in support in zoom is closed during the holidays but will be open 2 – 3 January. 

All details regarding opening hours during the holidays and how to contact the library can be found at Contact & opening hours.

From  7 January regular opening hours applies for all our services. 

Extended loan periods

During the holidays you can borrow books for a longer period of time. The extended loan period for course books starts 11 December and ends at 6 January (both specialist books and course books). If you want to know which loan period applies to your particular loans log in to manage your loans.

If you want to return books when the library is closed you can use our book drops 24/7. Books may be returned to any of our libraries that suits you best.

Purchase suggestions

No purchases will be made 18 December – 10 January (due to the holidays). Any suggestions sent in during that time period will be handled after 10 January. 

A last we want to wish all of you happy holidays!
