Jumbo library’s opening will be celebrated from October 15 to 18

The newest pearl among Vantaa libraries will be opened in Jumbo Shopping Center on Thursday, October 15. Jumbo Library was designed together with the residents of Vantaa with the aim of making it a cultural space open to everyone.

The peaceful environment—decorated around the theme Ajatusten metsä (“Forest of Thoughts”)—invites visitors to pause and enjoy reading and literature. Extensive opening hours ensure that the library is accessible every day.

The library opening will last for four days. The program consists of several author visits, choral singing, theater for the youngest members of the family, a comic workshop, book-recommendation concerts, and lots of other fun activities. In addition, the popular Supermarsu character will be making appearances throughout the library during the weekend.

Jumbo library is located in Viihdekortteli (“Entertainment Quarter”) of Jumbo Shopping Center, at: Tasetie 8, 01510 Vantaa.

As of October 15, the library will be open on weekdays from 9:00 to 20:00, and on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 to 18:00, excluding certain public holidays.

The library spaces are designed for myriad kinds of activities

There is a kitchen in connection with the children’s area where people can eat their take-out lunches and heat meals. There is a dedicated quiet space for studying. There is a lot of space for newspapers and magazines between the entrance and the exhibition space.

The multipurpose room will host fairytale hours, reading circles, book recommendations, as well as other small-scale events. Events can also be organized on the event stage located near the entrance lobby, which will be tested during the opening celebrations. 

Apart from the opening festivities and a few smaller events, regular event programming at Jumbo library will begin during 2027.

Jumbo library is meant for everybody

In addition to serving Aviapolis residents, Jumbo library will welcome all residents of Vantaa, as well as customers of the Helmet Library network who visit Jumbo Shopping Center. 

Jumbo library is a splendid addition to Vantaa’s library network. It continues the work of the former Pointti Library as a communal meeting place while offering new opportunities for reading, learning, culture, and spending time together.
