点评:Newly renovated and better than ever, located in Rovaniemi City Center, this public library designed by the famous Nordic architect, Alvar Aalto, is an icon of its own. The facade is minimalist but the design is well thought of. They offer a wide variety of books and there are plenty of spaces where you can study, read or just loiter intelligently. Power sockets are available but since we're in Finland, so negotiating access with the person beside it feels like a high-stakes social interaction. There is a coffee machine so that you can get a fresh brew for only 1 euro.
Librarians are all helpful and courteous and speaks English.
They have a very user friendly online reservation system for books. You can also book meeting rooms and music room and you can even play Xbox 360!
Cons: no bidets in WCs
Additional pros: there's self service (you can go in even if there are no staff on duty during designated time and day)
翻译:位于罗瓦涅米市中心的这座公共图书馆经过全新翻修,焕然一新,比以往更加出色。它由北欧著名建筑师阿尔瓦·阿尔托设计,本身就是一座地标性建筑。图书馆外观简约,但内部设计却匠心独运。馆内藏书丰富,空间宽敞,是学习、阅读或休闲放松的理想场所。虽然图书馆提供电源插座,但由于地处芬兰,与旁边的人协商使用电源插座的过程颇具挑战性。馆内还配备了咖啡机,只需1欧元即可享用一杯新鲜咖啡。
图书馆员热情友好,会说英语。
图书馆拥有便捷的在线图书预约系统。此外,您还可以预订会议室、音乐室,甚至还可以玩Xbox 360游戏!
缺点:卫生间没有坐浴盆
其他优点:图书馆提供自助服务(即使在指定时间和日期没有工作人员值班,您也可以进入)。
