Helsinki Central Library Oodi will turn one year old on 5 December. Opened on 5 December 2018, Oodi had a successful first year, as the estimates for the number of visits have already been far exceeded.

Helsinki City Library has recorded a higher number of both library visits and loans compared to last year. While the growth has been fuelled primarily by Central Library Oodi, the attractiveness of local libraries has been noted all over Helsinki.

The self-service hours of Point library in the evenings and over the weekends will be reduced for the period of October 21-December 31, 2019.
