Helsinki City Libraries Story Hours

Story hours open to everyone are held in libraries throughout the city. At these free story hours, you'll discover fairy tales and stories. Story hours are best suited for children aged 3-6 years, but younger children can also enjoy the stories and the company of other little ones when accompanied by a parent. Rikhardinkaadu Library also offers separate story hours specifically designed for the youngest listeners (ages 1-3). Swedish-language story hours are held at four different libraries throughout the city; a list of these is at the end of this article.
Credit for this list and story hours goes to Library Helsinki, and it has been shared with permission on the Pequeño Helsinki page. Thank you!
