View from the library window

When people visit the new library, this is one of the places where they can take a book and relax reading it. I think the view is very nice.

Grand opening

This is the day of the grand opening. The new long awaited library is finally open to the public. This is the main entrance. The building is called "Apila" as "The Clover". I believe you can see in this earlier photo why is that. I believe it was worth the waiting.  I only had a chance to pay a quick visit, but it sure looks nice.

As a bonus, here is a view from inside. These are the "reading stairs", where you can sit and read. As you can see the interior has a huge contrast between the white walls and the concrete ceiling. I'll post more detailed indoor shots later.

Everything seemed to be very modern. The borrowing and returining of books was self-serviced. That should leave the library clerks more time to guide the customers and advice them about the books. There is also a cafeteria, a large childrens section with a playroom and also some reading "foxholes" for the youth.

Bird's eye, New library

Here is the new library again. From another point of view this time. The photo is taken from the tower of Lakeuden Risti church. The library looks like fun from the outside. Let's see when we get in, how fun it is.

New Library, almost finished.

The new public library getting it's final touches. The migration from the old one has already started and this long awaited library should open in august 20th.

New library awaiting finishing

 

The new library of Seinäjoki is almost ready. I quess the staff will start moving the books from the old library in may. I've heard it will take a few months. So we are expecting the library to open sometime after the summer

Here you can find some information about the new building (in finnish)

Theme day – Construction

Yesterday was the monthly theme day in the Daily Photo Community. This blog is not yet listed in the community and I'm a day late with the Construction theme, but here it is. This will be the new library of Seinäjoki. I will post more photoes of it as they get it finished.
