Helsinki Central Library Oodi

The large-format printer, vinyl cutter, and studios 5 and 6 will open to the public on June 16.

Library services of the Helsinki Central Library Oodi will return to near-normal operations in June. This summer from 1 June to 10 August, the Oodi Central Library in central Helsinki will be open Mondays to Fridays from 8 am to 8 pm, and Saturdays and Sundays from 10 am to 6 pm.

Starting on 8 May, the public will be able to loan and reserve items for pick-up at libraries in the Helsinki districts of Etelä-Haaga, Kallio, Laajasalo, Malmi, Paloheinä, Pasila, Roihuvuori, Töölö, Vallila, Viikki, and the Helsinki Central Library Oodi. Other library branches in the city will start these services incrementally, beginning on 11 May.

On Oodi’s first floor, it is possible to organize small-scale pop-up events. The pop-up area can serve as a brief temporary information point.

The small group kitchen for rent at Oodi is suitable for 10 people. The kitchen can be used for cooking together or having meetings. The space has thus far been used for recreational days, family gatherings and birthday parties. 

Kuutio, which can be rented, is located on the second floor of Oodi. Kuutio is a glass-walled space of 90 square meters. The space is currently mainly used as a meeting room and training facility. The space is equipped with two screens and projectors.

Warmly welcome to the children’s section in Oodi!

Services for families with children at Central Library Oodi will be improved when Playground Loru is moved from the first floor to the children’s section balcony on the third floor on Monday 18 November 2019. The amount of pram parking space will also be increased in connection with this change.

Schools and kindergartens are warmly welcome to visit Oodi on their own. We have created a set of excercises to print out and use during your visit.
