Vaasa City Library, Public library in Vaasa, Finland.
Vaasa City Library is a public library in Vaasa that occupies multiple floors with specialized sections for literature, sciences, and digital resources. The collection includes books, e-books, magazines, audiobooks, and access to online databases.
The library was founded in 1794 as Vaasan Lukukirjasto and occupied various locations before 1936. It moved to a purpose-built facility that year, and underwent significant renovation when the current building was completed in 2001.
The library houses the Vasaensis collection, which gathers publications and documents about Vaasa's regional history and development for public access. This section lets visitors explore the city's local stories and heritage.
The facility provides computer workstations, free Wi-Fi, study areas, and an extensive collection accessible through an online platform. Since the building spans multiple floors, visitors benefit from checking the floor maps to locate their desired sections.
The building was designed by architects Lahdelma and Mahlamäki, blending traditional and modern architectural elements in a distinctive way. This design approach mirrors how the library balances its services between classic and digital offerings.
