Initially, residents will access the shared E-library of municipalities through a mobile application. A website is also on its way. The service will launch on April 23, 2024, in collaboration with the participating municipalities and the National Library. As part of this process, Vaasa City Library will remove overlapping e-services from its offerings, while maintaining the Biblio service alongside for the time being.
