E-material

The E-library

In the E-library, e-books, audiobooks and digital magazines are available in one app.

The E-library contains e-books and audiobooks in Finnish, Swedish and English, and also Finnish magazines. Some materials are also available in other languages.

Useful information about the E-library

The E-library is so far only available by downloading the app on your phone or tablet.

Using the E-library app for the first time requires strong authentication. After that, the app does not require a separate login. The customer’s right to use the E-library depends on whether their municipality of residence has joined the E-library. If your municipality of residence according to the Finnish Population Information System has not joined the E-library, you cannot use the E-library services. All Anders municipalities have joined the E-library.
