We started creating the comic book collection for the Paepealse Library in the fall of 2012, and by now we have amassed a considerable number of comics, graphic novels, and manga. Our goal in acquiring the comic book collection is to offer the widest possible selection for children, young people, and adults.
You can play various board games at the library.
We also have a Playstation 5. You can play console games only on spot. List of games here→
Kindergarten children visiting the library for the first time will be able to take part in the performance “Animals introduce the library”, where a fun story reveals who a writer is, who an artist is and what place the library is. A performance on the theme of space is based on“Kuukassi koerused kosmoses” by Joonas Sildre.
