Koivukylä Library book club: Tommi Kinnunen's «Kaarna», Vantaa

Koivukylä residents' space (Koivukylän asukastila)

Once a month, on the second Thursday, the Koivukylä Library in north-eastern Vantaa gathers its reading circle in the neighbourhood residents' space at Hakopolku 2, a short walk from the library. In December the book is Tommi Kinnunen's novel Kaarna; copies can be borrowed in advance from the library in the Citymarket building. The discussion is in Finnish, open to everyone, free and without registration, and a good way to meet local readers. «Koivukylän kirjaston lukupiiri» Starts 15:00, ends about 16:30.

First time?

How to join a book club alone

  1. Check the book, then relax. Many groups welcome people who have not finished it — the official page says if reading ahead matters.
  2. Arrive five minutes early and tell the host it is your first time; they will introduce you.
  3. Say one thing — a line you liked or a question. That is enough for a first evening.
  4. Nothing that suits you? Host a silent reading night: 60 minutes silent, 15 minutes talk, phones away, any book, finish at a café.
