Many Finnish libraries have easy-to-read pages in internet for example Helmet https://www.helsinginseutu.fi/hs/selkosivut-fi/vapaa-aika/kirjastot.
There are other service sites for those who need clear language for example Verneri https://verneri.net/selko/vapaa-aika/lukeminen/kay-kirjastossa/ and Papunet https://papunet.net/saavutettavuus/selkokieli-verkkosivuilla and Kehitysvammaliitto https://www.kehitysvammaliitto.fi/in-english/
The Espoo Library has people with intellectual disabilities who work part-time. They work two days a week with their supervisor.
Tasks include: shelving, unloading and rearranging.
Espoo also makes remembrance trips. The librarian has assembled briefcases and used them to reminisce together. https… |
