In the course of the summer, ministers of Prime Minister Antti Rinne’s Government will visit Finnish libraries to present the Government Programme and to discuss it with citizens, informed today the Ministry for Foreign Affairs in a press release.

“The Government Programme was published directly to the people of Finland in the middle of where people gather, in Oodi, Helsinki Central Library, which represents the gateway to learning and culture. We want to continue the discussion with our citizens by visiting different Finnish libraries. Besides being a cornerstone of Finnish education and culture, libraries are a meeting place for everyone in society. Libraries are also connected to an important Finnish principle: Whatever we borrow, we must return in good condition”, Prime Minister Rinne said.
The events will be open to all and people can present questions and comments to the ministers.
