Multilingual Library

Multilingual library offers people living anywhere in Finland a chance to read literature in their native language. Multilingual collection is situated in the Helsinki City Library – Central Public Library, but you can ask for these items through your own local library.

Multilingual collection contains library materials for adults, young people as well as children in more than 80 languages. In most part the collection consists of books but it also contains music, movies and magazines.

You can browse multilingual collection through Helmet-catalogue search. By using the language menu, the search offers you library materials only in the language you chose. Library staff will help you in your search.
