Helsinki's Oodi Library

Helsinki’s library has it going on

  • Movie theatre and restaurant on the first floor

  • Musical instruments, 3D printers, woodworking tools and all kinds of specialty equipment available for rent on the second floor

  • A few kids’ play areas and a great Moomin selection

  • Outstanding book selection in Finnish, English, and other languages

  • Language classes

  • All kinds of group meetups pretty much every night of the week

  • A great cozy reading area overlooking a lot of Helsinki

  • A really good cafe on the top floor

  • Board games available to rent or play on the top floor

Basically, if its something you think a library might be able to offer, the Oodi Library tries to find a way to make it happen.
