Visit to the public library in Ivalo

On December, 13th, we visited the public library in Ivalo, Lapland.
Ivalo is the administrative center of Inari, the largest municipality (regarding area) in Finland.
The whole municipality has a population of approximately 7,000 inhabitants, and Ivalo, around 4,000.
In addition to this library, there is another one in the village of Inari (at the Sámi Cultural Centre Sajos) and a bus library (kirjastoauto) that visits different places in the municipality.
Here are some photos of the library. Besides paper books, it lends CDs, DVDs, e-books, audio books, and sports equipment. Yes, you can go to this library to borrow skis. :-)
I've asked the librarian how many people frequented the space. She told me that almost everybody, since books are expensive in Finland.

Typical clothes of Sámi people
