Coronavirus

The Goethe-Institut Finnland wants to contribute its share to curb the spread of COVID-19. We follow the instructions and guidelines of the Finnish authorities in all our activities.

Our library is open on Mondays to Thursdays from 10 am to 6 pm. Materials can be borrowed and returned quickly using the self-service machine.

The health of our visitors is the first priority for us, which is why we recommend taking care of good hand hygiene and keeping distance to other visitors and staff members. Face masks are provided in our premises.
