Lapland Regional Library

Bedste tid at besøge

Weekday mornings are quietest, especially right after opening, when the halls are nearly empty. In winter, late afternoons bring warm lamplight that glows against the polar night dark, making those hours the coziest for reading.

Budgettips

Entry and all the exhibits and reading nooks are free, with Wi-Fi and washrooms at no cost. Borrowing books needs a library card, so most visitors just browse the collections and soak in the architecture instead.

Om

Hurtige fakta: Omkring 400.000 genstande står på hylderne her, men det helt store højdepunkt er Arktis-litteratursamlingen, som forskere rejser fra hele Norden for at bruge. Alvar Aaltos oprindelige vifteformede læsesal er stadig bygningens omdrejningspunkt, som genåbnede i 2015 efter en renovering, der tilføjede geotermisk opvarmning.

Højdepunkter: Hvert sæde i hovedsalen vender mod bibliotekarens centrale skranke, et vifteformat, som Aalto skitserede for at personalet kunne få øje på enhver besøgende med ét blik. Stil dig ved den ydre kurve, og rummet åbner sig som et teater med vinduer fra gulv til loft, der lader det nordlige lys strømme ind over hele reolrækken.

Insidertips

  • Climb the mezzanine stairs for a bird's-eye view of the fan-shaped hall and its converging shelves
  • Ask at the service desk about the Arctic literature holdings, staff often pull out unusual volumes for curious visitors
  • Use the sheltered walkway to the neighboring civic buildings when the plaza is icy, a trick locals rely on in midwinter
  • Arrive right at opening on weekdays to have the reading room almost entirely to yourself
