Oodi is a futuristic library in Helsinki that encourages hanging out and offers various free-to-use public amenities.
The ground floor features chess and Go boards, a restaurant, and a cinema showing classic films affordably.
The second floor provides digital workstations, recording studios, rentable instruments, group rooms, kitchens, and game rooms with consoles and VR gear.
A makerspace on this floor includes 3D printers, laser cutters, engravers, sewing machines, and staff assistance for learning these tools.
The third floor houses an extensive book collection with low shelves for visibility, natural light, a cafe, a children's area, and abundant seating with power outlets.
Robots manage book storage in the basement, and a virtual online tour of Oodi is available for remote exploration.
