3. Songs and games

Jamming to the tunes of kids’ songs and playing games, Tikkurila Library is not for whispers but for having fun at a variety of events. The main library of Vantaa, Tikkurila Library is located next to the station and therefore easily accessible by locals as well as those arriving from further away.
