Organized visits to the library

We offer organized library visits for the eldest children in kindergarten (5-6 years old) in April, 3rd grade in primary schools in March, 6th grade in February and 9th grade in November.


The aim of the visits is:

  • That children get to know the library, its activities and services.
  • That children get to know how the museum is organized and where and how they can find material suitable for their age.
  • To give children an opportunity to discover the world of books by encouraging curiosity and interest in reading.
  • That children will gain understanding of the main information sources available in relation to books and libraries.
  • That children understand the difference between public and school libraries, and they realize the public library is always accessible and is for everyone.
