The route to the entrance is smooth, wide and lit, and the door is easy to open by hand. The library is on the second floor and can be reached by an accessible lift; an accessible toilet is on the same floor. The reading session is in the Luoto meeting room, whose event-specific accessibility is not described. 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.
