Keuruu Library

Keuruu Main Library is located in the centre of Keuruu, on the shores of Lake Tarhiajärvi. The library building was completed in 1999 and was designed by architect Eero Hyvämäki.

Outside of customer service hours, the library operates as a self-service library. To gain access during self-service hours, you will need a Keski Libraries library card and the associated PIN code.

The library has a barrier-free entrance via a door fitted with a push-button. The premises are mainly on one floor, which has a few gentle ramps. The ground-floor areas are accessible by lift. The library has an accessible toilet. The library accepts the Vessapassi

There is a tourist information point in the library. Brochures on local attractions and services are available. You can also ask the staff for information.

The library offers the following Kela services:

• Kela service point on Tuesdays from 12 noon to 3 pm. At the service point, you can collect and submit benefit applications and their supporting documents.

Outside, in front of the library, there are two works of art. Closer to the library building stands *The Listener*, a granite sculpture by Keuruu-based sculptor Timo Hannunen, which was donated to the town of Keuruu from bequest funds to mark the opening of the library’s new building. Near the shore, meanwhile, stands Splash, designed by the artist duo NEON, made from welded curved steel plates. The work was unveiled in 2024 and was realised by HT Laser, a Keuruu-based metalworking company. It was funded by the Arts Promotion Centre Finland and the City of Keuruu jointly, in accordance with the ‘one per cent principle’, as part of the investment in the redevelopment of the waterfront area.
