Helsinki Central Library "Oodi" opened in 2018

In Finnish, Oodi means "ode" and was chosen to signify the library as an ode to literature, democracy, lifelong learning, and the public community. The 1st floor has a cinema, café, restaurant, and exhibition space. The 2nd floor is a "maker space" designed for creativity, featuring 3D printers, recording studios, sewing machines, and gaming rooms. The 3rd floor is a traditional quiet library area known as "book heaven" with an open-plan design.
