THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF FINLAND • KANSALLISKIRJASTO, Helsinki
The main building of the National Library of Finland in Helsinki was designed by Carl Ludvig Engel in 1840. The collection of the library originates from about twenty volumes that were given to the Turku Academy at the time of its establishment in 1640.
In 2017, the National Library's collection included about three million books and three million other publications - more than 115 kilometers of shelfs.
The main building of the library is located next to the Senate Square, and the main building of the University of Helsinki. Its entrance is opposite the western entrance of the Cathedral.

MFA Friday Clip: Finnish Architecture. Review 2018 - The National Library of Finland Restoration
MFA Friday Clip series presents videos of the latest biennial review projects. This week theme: The National Library of Finland restoration by LPR Architects.
The National Library restoration project was based on a detailed survey of the building’s history. Finland’s top experts were called in to carry out the conservation, and the entire restoration process was documented thoroughly. Although the architects strove to be subtle and conserve as much as they could, there were inevitable technical challenges.
The building is widely regarded as Finland’s most beautiful old library. However, it has suffered from damp problems throughout its history and the team had no choice but to repair the resultant structural damage. Added to this were the new functional and technical demands listed by the client, such as self-service facilities, wheelchair access and digital connectivity. New facilities were installed in the basement by cutting into the underlying bedrock. The impressive new underground annex contains an elegant cloakroom and locker room.
About the review:
Finland’s biennial architectural review presents a selection of recent projects showcasing new trends and high standards of excellence in Finnish architecture. The review is organized by the Museum of Finnish Architecture, the Finnish Association of Architects SAFA and the Alvar Aalto Foundation.
This year’s jury was chaired by the Portuguese architect Gonçalo Byrne, a recent member of the jury that selected the winner of the Mies van der Rohe Award. The two other members of the Biennial Review jury are Maire Mattinen, architect and Anni Vartola, architect and critic.
The 16 shortlisted projects offer an example of recent accomplishments in high-level contemporary planning, renovation, and sustainable, responsible design.

The Helsinki Central Library Oodi (Finnish: Helsingin keskustakirjasto Oodi, Swedish: Helsingfors centrumbibliotek Ode), commonly referred to as Library Oodi, is a public library in Helsinki, Finland, inaugurated on December 5, 2018. The library is situated in the Töölönlahti district next to Helsinki Music Centre and Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art.
Oodi has room for both quiet and more noisy activities.
1st floor: events, coffee and meetings
The active public facilities and large event venues, such as the cinema and the multi-purpose hall, are located on the first floor. The busy entrance hall forms the floor of transition and partners, and also contains the quick library services.
2nd floor: workshops, learning and interaction
The second floor is dedicated to work, learning by doing, interaction and sharing time with others, and has studios, game rooms, urban workshops, work and meeting rooms, and group work facilities. The floor also has tranquil rooms for taking breaks.
3rd floor: book heaven, Citizens’ Balcony and children’s section
The top floor is a place to relax and unwind. Underneath the undulating ceiling, you can have a break from your daily chores, have some coffee and admire the view from the Citizens’ Balcony. This floor resembles a traditional library the most. The children’s section is also located here...

Helsinki University Library: Everyone's Happy Here
芬兰人可以说是世界上最爱阅读的民族之一。平均每2000人拥有1个图书馆，平均每位芬兰人每月至少光顾1次图书馆。
但是你最好不要问一个中国人“你多久去一次图书馆？”，而应该问“你多久没去图书馆了？”。中国人不爱去图书馆也是有原因的，“忙，没时间看书，图书馆里有一股陈旧的味道，容易在图书馆里迷路”。
芬兰人喜欢去图书馆也是有原因的。这次请跟随我们的镜头走进芬兰赫尔辛基大学图书馆，看看芬兰人为什么这么爱读书。

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The National Library of Finland (Finnish: Kansalliskirjasto, Swedish: Nationalbiblioteket) is the foremost research library in Finland. Administratively the library is part of the University of Helsinki. Until 1 August 2006, it was known as the Helsinki University Library.
The National Library is responsible for storing the Finnish cultural heritage. By Finnish law, the National Library is a legal deposit library and receives copies of all printed matter, as well as audiovisual materials excepting films, produced in Finland or for distribution in Finland. These copies are then distributed by the Library to its own national collection and to reserve collections of five other university libraries. Also, the National Library has the obligation to collect and preserve materials published on the Internet.
Any person who lives in Finland may register as a user of the National Library and borrow library material. The publications in the national collection, however, are not loaned outside the library. The library also is home to one of the most comprehensive collections of books published in the Russian Empire of any library in the world.
The National Library is located in Helsinki, close to Senaatintori square. The oldest part of the library complex, designed by Carl Ludvig Engel, dates back to 1844. The newer extension Rotunda, designed by architect Gustaf Nyström, was completed in 1906. The bulk of the collection is, nonetheless, stored in Kirjaluola (Finnish for Bookcave), a 57,600-cubic-metre (2,030,000 cu ft) underground bunker drilled into solid rock, 18 metres (59 ft) below the library.
