Group visits and booktalk

Booktalk

At a book talk, library staff present books briefly and in as interesting a way as possible, so that the listener is inspired to finish the book.

The aim of the booktalk is to encourage and entice children, young people and adults alike to read and to find their own interesting reading material. Booktalks are open to different groups and classes and usually last between 30 and 60 minutes. The booktalk can be designed according to the needs and interests of each group.

Groups can book their own time. Please contact the library preferably at least two weeks before the planned visit. Please inform the number of pupils, the duration of the visit, the type of books they are interested in and any other special requests.

Storytime

The Main Library organises storytime sessions (i.e. reading of fairy tales etc.) in Finnish at specially arranged times, for example for kindergarten groups. Please contact the library preferably about two weeks before the desired date and inform the number of people coming, the time available and any requests you may have, for example for specific fairy tales to be read.
