What´s going on

The opening hours of Vantaa libraries will be shortened as of August 10. On Fridays, most libraries will stay open until 16:00, and on Sundays, the libraries will be closed. 

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.

Marlene wil be in Point library until week 12. Hi, my name is Marlene Furian. I am a social worker from Germany, 24 years old and on my university break until April 2018. Until then I will spend my time in the Point library and offer small visitors to have some games with me or other library activities. I will be the big sister for any cases.

The space of Point library will be re-arranged from 18th to 19th December 2017. At the same time new furniture will be bought to the library. All materials in the library will be packed in boxes for the duration of the arrangement and the materials will not be available on Tuesday 19th December. The work will start already on the previous week, when some of the library material will be packed.

I’m Venla, a 19 year old soon-to-be university student. I’m very excited to be working at the Point library this summer 2017 for one month. So far I’ve enjoyed constantly learning new things about the library, for example discovering its extensive collection of movies, music, and e-books.

As of April 1, 2017, you can pay library fees at the library only at Tikkurila and Myyrmäki libraries; cash desks are removed from the other libraries in Vantaa at the end of March. 

In the year 2016 the library was full of different workshops for kids. Illustration Club made collages and dived into ocean themed poetry. Cut-out animation workshop made animations out of pieces of paper. Creativity Club made comics, origamis and a coloring book. Workshop activities continue also in the year 2017!

Every spring, Point library organizes Tottatarua - a popular children's literary event. Tottatarua has free entrance and is aimed for children aged 0-12, and the program and different activities are planned and organized in cooperation with local organizations.
