Events and tips

Helsinki City Library’s spring is all about books of power. Let us remind each other of the joy of reading, especially in these difficult times. Share your book of power on social media or at the participatory book of power exhibitions of the libraries.

There are tools to distinguish between factual and fake news. One such tool, media literacy, is promoted by libraries as an essential civic skill.

During the temporary service restriction, persons under the age of 15 cannot access the libraries during the self-service hours.

Digital magazines in OverDrive will no longer be available at the Helmet e-library as of 4 March 2022 and the Flipster service as of 1 July 2022. Foreign digital magazines will continue to be available via the PressReader service.
