The library of the Finnish city of Espoo is recognized as the best in the world.
The library of the Finnish city of Espoo won the title "Library of the Year" at the London Book Fair. The jury noted her for the fact that through various programs the library effectively works with different groups of the population, including the elderly, people with disabilities and refugees.
One of the innovations of the Espoo City Library is a network of branches, which are located in shopping centers and other popular places in the city. Some work as full-fledged branches of the library, others do without staff.
In addition, the library constantly organizes events, including educational programs for children, youth and adults, and special programs for socially unprotected segments of the population.
Finally, the library has developed a convenient mobile application through which residents of remote areas and people with limited mobility can access its funds.
The title “Library of the Year” is awarded within the framework of a competition in which any state library of the world can take part (except those located in Great Britain). For example, this year in addition to the Finnish library, shortlisted libraries include libraries from Brazil and Zambia.
Espoo City Library is part of the Finnish library network HelMet, which seeks to transform libraries into trendy public spaces. For example, in the libraries of this network you can rent almost any thing, rent free language courses or play field hockey.
