The library is an open meeting place and cultural center, meant for everybody. It offers magazines, books, music, movies and other material that you can browse on the spot or borrow and take home with you. You can study, engage in a hobby and hang out on library premises. Libraries also arrange instruction, guidance, digital support, events, and exhibitions.
Libraries provide the customers with a wLAN (wireless local area network), computers and the most common software. Many libraries also lo…an various objects.
Vantaa City Library cooperates with the libraries in its neighboring cities (Espoo, Helsinki and Kauniainen), and together the four make up Helmet Library. You can also borrow items owned by libraries in Espoo, Helsinki and Kauniainen.
The collections of most libraries also include digital material. Libraries' national online services on the Kirjastot.fi website are available to everybody, as is also the National Library's Finna.fi service. Through your own library, you will have access to material from Multilingual Library and Celia Library. Furthermore, you can access the online Viittomakielinenkirjasto.fi (sign-language library) from everywhere.
