About this service
Description
A library is a meeting place open to all and a living room for city residents. It offers magazines, books, music, films, games and other material that can be used at the library or borrowed and taken home. Library staff provides help with searches for literature and information. In addition, libraries have a range of shared resources on site and available to borrow. In the library facilities, you can study, work, pursue hobbies and spend your free time. They also offer guided tours, advice, events and exhibitions. Library services are intended for everyone and for people of all ages. Libraries also provide services for children and young people, in particular, as well as services for people speaking different languages and for senior citizens. Libraries have work and activity spaces available for reservation, which can be made through Varaamo.
