Libraries

Every local authority in Finland has a municipal or city library. In addition to books and magazines, music, films and computer programs, for instance, can also be taken out on loan. Borrowing from other libraries takes place through the interlibrary loan service.

Services provided by Finnish libraries are, on the whole, free. Information specialists in libraries help with information retrieval and show how customers can search for information themselves. Presenting and selecting resources and producing information retrieval services are a major part of the work carried out by information specialists and libraries.

Libraries also provide Internet connections for browsing. Information on services provided by university and specialist libraries is available on the Internet and their collections can also be searched online.
