Adult patrons of Tallinn Central Library may borrow items (books, CD-s, DVD-s etc) by ordering them to a DPD parcel machine. The sending cost is 4 euros and must be paid by the customer.
Underage patrons can use the service with adult intermediation. Due to this being a charged service, which may carry a bigger financial responsibility if a parcel is not retrieved, we recommend that a parent of an underage patron places the order.
It is possible to order items from all Tallinn Central Library’s departments and branch libraries. The items must be listed as AVAILABLE or In reserve collection in the e-catalogue ESTER. The order must be sent to one specific department or branch library – a library cannot combine items from different departments or branch libraries into one parcel.
1. The service is offered by Tallinn Central Library’s departments and branch libraries.
2. The service may be used by adult patrons of Tallinn Central Library.
