We present and recommend books to patrons and different groups. The Library organizes reading circles run by the staff where patrons may deepen their reading experience by general discussion. In addition, we offer library space for independent reading circles. Books on current topics and treasures from the storage

7 Children s Own Library We offer children a versatile collection of fairy tales, stories, magazines, films, games and music. The comfortable spaces in the libraries tempt children and teens to browse through and borrow books or just look around the place. Story times, puppet theatre and other performances open new paths for imagination. We actively cooperate with schools and day care centres. We collect books and other material on different topics for different age groups. We instruct school classes in library use and give book talks. The Mobile Library provides regular library services to day care centres and schools. We ll be pleased to come to talk about the importance of reading at parents evenings in day care centres and in children s play groups. Great adventures for little people

8 In the Library you can be yourself Youth Allowed The Youth Space is a gateway to the Library and the possibilities it can offer to young people. In the Youth Space teens can find interesting books, comics, magazines, films and music. In this space we also organize events and theme weeks that teenagers have suggested in cooperation with the City Youth Services and others.

10 The Mobile Library comes to the customer For Seniors and Other Groups Through the Library s book delivery service the world of books is also available to those inhabitants of Lahti who cannot visit a library themselves because of an illness or a physical disability. The Mobile Library comes to the patrons and also provides service to seniors and other special groups. We organize free introductory courses for seniors and other groups on how to use a computer and the Internet. In these courses the participants are taught how to use a computer and the web services provided by the Library and how to use digital services in general.

13 Ask and Find In the Library you may look around on your own and make pleasant discoveries. But you cannot always find everything by yourself. The staff is ready to help you find books and other material, as well as any kind of information you may need. Ask a Librarian is a Web service that allows anyone to send a question to a library in Finland and get an answer in three days. Borrow a Librarian is a service for those who would like to reserve time for personal, unhurried guidance or information search sessions. The starting point for finding individual books and even for doing a more extensive search is our LASTU Library Catalogue. It can be found on the Net and can be used freely by anyone. It is further complemented by databases on different topics. Some of these databases are free, others have been subscribed to by the Library can only be used on Library computers. Through interlibrary loan service patrons can request items that are not owned by the Lahti City Library. Small details may be crucial in finding what you are looking for it is often best to ask for help. Small details may be crucial it is often best to ask for help
