One year to go until Estonia's National Library fully reopens on Tõnismägi

Exactly one year remains until the Estonian National Library on Tõnismägi in Tallinn opens its doors to the full public on 28 May 2027. In the meantime, the building is partially accessible for educational and event activities, and book borrowing is available through the ESTER catalogue.

The countdown is on for one of Tallinn's most anticipated cultural reopenings: as of 28 May this year, exactly one year remains until the Estonian National Library swings open its doors in full at its historic Tõnismägi location.

Until the grand opening at the end of May 2027, the building will not sit empty. It remains partially open to serve as an education and events centre, giving visitors a chance to experience the space ahead of the full launch. Those eager to borrow books in the meantime can already place orders through the ESTER library catalogue.

The National Library's full reopening is set to mark a significant moment for Estonian cultural life, reuniting readers with one of the country's most prominent literary institutions after a period of transition and renovation work.
