5 December 2018 was a great day as we opened Central Library Oodi to the public. It quickly became one of Helsinki’s main landmarks. As an experience, Oodi is a gas station of hope and belonging. Today, Oodi had its 10 millionth visitor. #libraries

Congrats Richard V. Reeves. And this:”I offered 12 people whose work I admire their own $20 million grant-making fund to distribute as he or she sees fit.”

This year's Art in the Loop theme "Convivencia" was inspired by a talk given by Tommi Laitio during the KCMO Public Library's 150th anniversary kickoff. Experience how artists interpreted 'Living Together with Difference' through their artworks & performances along the #kcstreetcar route.
