Open meeting places
Introduction
The eleven libraries of Vantaa operate as the residents' shared living rooms, where you can work and study, attend events and reserve facilities for various purposes.
Activities for families with children are organised in open day-care centres, residential parks and meeting places. Activities for families with children are also organised by the city's children's cultural centres Toteemi and Pessi.
Young people are welcome to spend time with diverse activities at the city's youth centres. There is a total of fourteen youth centres, and they are mainly intended for young people aged 10-17. Youth centre activities are organised in afternoons and evenings and at weekends.
