Library car

The joint Nordic library car works in cooperation with the border counties of Finland, Norway and Sweden, Muonio, Enontekiö, Pajala and Kautokeino. There is material in the car in Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish and Sami. The car's material can also be returned to the main libraries.
The car's staff will guide you in searching for information and using the collection. The phone number of the library van is +358 400 398 219.


You can watch an introductory video about the operation of the shared Nordic library car here. The link opens in a new window.

Order a Reading box for school or kindergarten!

The reading box can also be ordered for schools on the route of the library van!

Do you want versatile reading material for your class that is suitable for readers of different levels?

It is possible to order a Reading Box for the school from the library, i.e. a couple of boxes of books to borrow according to your wishes. The boxes can contain, for example, various non-fiction or, for example, information books related to a certain theme. The reading box is a great way to increase students' reading enthusiasm, make it easier to find suitable books and get additional sources to support different subjects or phenomenon-based projects!


Order the boxes well in advance, preferably two weeks before you need them.
You can order the boxes using the form found behind the link (fi). The loan period of the box is 6 weeks.
