文化的背景

Libraries are free for everyone and are considered 'public living rooms'. It is very common for people to spend their whole day there. During 'tenttiviikko' (exam week), libraries are packed. Being 'menossa kirjastoon' is a sign of a serious student. Many libraries are architectural masterpieces (e.g., Alvar Aalto's designs). Visiting them is a cultural activity in itself. Silence is valued, but many modern libraries have 'talking zones'. Always check the rules when you arrive.
