Tallinn Libraries sell fiction (including children’s literature and poetry) and non-fiction books that are out of date, in large print or in new editions. Book prices start from € 0,15. The books on sale can be consulted at the library. The proceeds of the sale will be used to buy new books.
Libraries occasionally organise book fairs, keep an eye on our news, events calendar or join our newsletter. We also share information on our social media channels on Facebook and Instagram.
Almost all of us have books at home that we’ve read once but don’t want to read again. I’m sure there’s someone somewhere who needs that book for themselves. You can bring the book(s) you no longer need from home to our library and pick up a new one from the library’s book exchange shelf.
We offer our readers the opportunity to use our training classroom free of charge. Group size up to 10 people.
To organise paid training courses, events or public events, the same space can also be rented at 40 € per hour, with a coefficient of 0,4-1,0.
At Sõle library (Sõle 47b), you can use the sewing room. Please bring your own materials needed for the work, such as fabric, thread, pattern paper, etc.
