Towards the Central Library
Come and join us in designing the services of the new central library! The Oulu Main Library is planned to undergo complete renovation and transform into a central library. The new services are already being planned as a part of the project.
Oulu Cultural Strategy 2030, City of Oulu:
“Together with the renovations, the city’s key cultural facilities and concepts will be updated to meet future needs. As the most important of the facilities, the central library creates a space for learning and experiences.”
Service Network Plan 2018, City of Oulu:
“Library services are developed in order to produce the services efficiently in terms of space and based on people's everyday routines and routes. The city will have a central library and three regional libraries offering a wide range of services. Additional library services will be primarily provided together with other service visits.”
What is the Central Library?
-
The Central Library supports social well-being and creates a space for people, culture, information, learning and experiences to meet.
-
The Central Library provides opportunities to create information and get to know future services by bringing the latest technology for customers to try out.
-
The Central Library is a lively space where citizens can feel at home, develop on themselves on their own or through various courses and events. The customers can, for instance, book a workspace or arrange a knitting club by themselves.
-
The Central Library is the core of multi-literacy skills where the customers can listen, watch and read.
-
The Central Library is a pioneer of sustainable development. The Central Library is the ecological opposite of a mall: a place where you can have fun and spend time with your friends without buying anything.
