Library to stop offering free copies and prints from 2.9.

All printing and copying at Espoo City Library will be subject to payment from 2.9. The price for all prints and copies will be 0,20€ per page.

The library will support our customers' transition to online services. Online services are inherently safer, more secure and faster in terms of speed and traceability. Government agencies also favour online services and provide support for their own services.

In future, printing will also be subject to payment for children. We want to steer the library's children's activities away from printing as a sustainable development. The library has checked with the City of Espoo's Growth and Learning Sector that schools do not require school assignments to be returned in print.

The change is based on a decision made by the Culture Committee in May. You can read the background to the decision in the meeting protocol (available in Finnish)(external link, opens in a new window).
