The Municipal Library of Juuka

Juuan kunnankirjasto

The elegant design of the Municipal library of Juuka is the work of Kaj Michael Oy, a Finnish Architecture firm, which completed its work on the library in the summer of July 1993. The Municipal library of Juuka has received the nickname “Rihveli” due to its majestic soapstone pillars placed in front of the main entrance, which represent giant stone pens.

The library hosts over 42 000 books in its collection. In addition, there is a separate room for people who want to read newspapers and magazines (for children, youth and adults) Along with its diverse collection of books in various languages (including English, Swedish & Russian), the library also offers sports & gaming equipment for rental.

The library is fully equipped with desktops, wifi, a Digital piano and rooms available for booking in the library tower for use as a writers nook or work space for artists or other creative souls. Access is also provided for scanning and printing services.
