Hello I’m a foreigner, I would like to visit a library here in Finland. And the thing is if I use a space or a table and have my own art materials with me to do some artwork inside the library, is it for free or do i have to have a libray card with me before I can use a room or a space to sit?
Answer
Hello,
starting point is that all services in public libraries are free of charge. Still here in Finland there are little differences how libraries run their space etc. reservation policy. This is due every city, county or region have more or less their own library networks and therefore their individual ways to organize services.
I suggest you to contact the library where you want to work at and ask about their services and space etc.. Give a call or contact service desk for some libraries don't have space to be reserved. In some libraries card is needed and in some it´s not, I´d guess depending nature of necessity and type of the space. For a library card photo identity card is needed.
Since you addressed your question here in Helmet-region public library at Vantaa, here down below one can find list of contacts for Helsinki Metropolitan Area Libraries.
