Accessibility
The main entrance has steps, a heavy door and thresholds over 2 cm. There is a long ramp on the Porthaninkatu side, but the route is narrow and steep. The building has a small lift and a toilet marked accessible with limitations that may affect its use. The reading session is in the Kontio group room on the first floor. A dog is present at the event. If a dog allergy, fear of dogs or another individual need affects participation, confirm the arrangements with the library before visiting.
