Newspapers in other languages

In case you want to read some news -not-in-Finnish-only-, you can do it in the library of TUT. There is so called resting room "Huili" in the opposite side of the information desk, and there you can find at least Frankfurter Allgemaine (or something like that:), Herald Tribune and some Swedish newspaper, too! They are for free, you just need to stay in that resting room while reading those:) BTW, the cheapest coffee automate of TUT is also at the same room;)

There is in library of Hervanta (in the same building with Kantri Star) a lot of books in English, France, Spanish, Swedish etc. You can lend books from the library if you have a library card of the city of Tampere, and that is free of charge! You can keep the books for free for about 4 weeks. If you forgot to return your books, they are going to charge you A LOT!!

Main collection of foreign novels and literature is in the main library Metso in end of Hämeenkatu (other end than the railwaystation). There is also a newspaper reading room in keskustori in small building a bit after the old church.

Another comment:

Actually penalty is not very big. It is possible to ask in city library access code for internet and you can renew your books thru internet. It is possible to renew (max 5 times) and reserve books via internet. You can also search the library database via internet.
