Oulu – The Reading City
Do you know what kaupunni means? It is a dialectal form of kaupunki which means ‘city’ in Finnish. And what about lukevin? It is the superlative form of reading, meaning that we read a great deal, and we promote literacy skills together.
Oulu is the city of many libraries and a pioneer in literacy work collaboration. Our goal is to be the European Reading Capital of Culture in 2026.
