In the €100 million Oodi library, which looms over central Helsinki like a cruise ship from the future, robots called Tatu, Patu and Veera trundle back and forth between the shelves and the reading rooms.
Against this backdrop, foreign visitors might be surprised to see how many children and teenagers are engaged in an almost unsettlingly archaic activity: reading and borrowing books.
In the age of TikTok, Netflix and *Candy Crush*, it is not just Finland’s public libraries that are booming, but also demand for their physical paperbacks and hardbacks
I don’t know why I did so but I went a library, got a library card and loaned a book early this year.
I had last read a single book years ago. Just a spur of the moment or something.
I have read 18 books since that this year, I like going to libraries and seeing how different and cool they are. My local librarians have started to recognise me.
My local library is criminally underfunded, is struggling on getting new material and repairing older material. They still make every effort to get a book if it’s possible and someone wants to read it.
