Turku City Library, Southwest Finland, Finland
4.5 (259 reviews) Sunday: 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM Spent Ranking #1 in Turku Libraries
The third library in Finland
Only Helsinki and Rauma had libraries before Turku. Turku Main Library consists of two buildings. The Dutch late Renaissance-style building was constructed in 1903. It resembles the House of Nobility in Stockholm. The interior is stunning. Next to the old one, a new library building was completed in 2007. The main material here was concrete and the building received the 2007 Concrete Construction Award. The two buildings are connected by a corridor that runs through the News Market where people can read newspapers. You can visit Café Sirius located in the former governor's office building.

Superior establishment, everything is brand spanking new
Very superior excelsior establishment, everything is new, open and a lot natural light. It’s nice to just to come inside to warm up at winter -25 ℃ when just crossing by. You don’t have to be an customer, loan a book or return late music records, everybody is welcome

Super
It`s fantastic. Situated in the middle of town at the side of the river in an old building with a lot of character. The facilities are top jolly though. Books galore, in all sorts of languages, able personnel, loads of computers to go in the net, reading corners with comfy chairs or cushions, newspapers, magazines... you name it, they`ve got it. You can spend hours there and not be bored...
