The Biblio e-book service was upgraded to a new version on 3 August 2026. You can download the new Biblio app for Android and iOS from your device’s app store. The updated app can be recognized by its new brown-toned logo.

How to log in to Biblio

• Access Biblio via the Tritonia-Finna link, at https://biblio.app, or open the Biblio app on your mobile device.
• Enter Tritonia in the search field to find the library’s collection.
• Log in using your Tritonia library card number and PIN code.
• Accept the terms of use the first time you sign in.

The previous Biblio website and app will remain available until the end of August. This means you can continue reading books borrowed before 3 August until the end of your loan period. However, it is no longer possible to borrow new titles through the old version of Biblio.

Tritonia’s Biblio collection mainly consists of non-fiction. It contains more than 30,000 e-books and audiobooks. Most titles are in Swedish, but the collection also includes content in Finnish and English.
