The National Library of Finland´s main building is designed by Carl Ludvig Engel and the Rotunda extension is designed by Gustav Nyström.
The library was founded in 1640.
The National Library of Finland is a cultural heritage organisation that is open to all and provides nationwide services to citizens, scientific communities and other societal operators.
We secure the availability of cultural heritage published in Finland or relating to Finland as well as transmit and produce information content for research, studies, citizens and the society.
We develop services in cooperation with libraries, archives, museums and other operators.
E-library, provided by the National Library of Finland in cooperation with public libraries, celebrates its first anniversary on 29 April 2025. In the first year of operations, millions of loans have been placed, and the availability of material has improved compared with previous years.
