Register your Reading for the Reading Counter
How many books have the people of Oulu read in 2025?
Register the number of books you have read or listened to for the campaign every month. How much do Oulu’s citizens read? Can we find out where in Oulu do people read or listen to most books? We publish the number of read books on the Lukevin kaupunni website as the campaign progresses. Join us in ticking up the counter!
The figures of the Reading Counter are updated in the middle of each month. The Reading Counter figures are found here.
