School libraries in Finland are not regulated by the law. School libraries are often very small and most of the services provided to schools by libraries are delivered by the public libraries.
Due to the decline in literacy, schools have been offered money, for example by The Finnish Cultural Foundation, to develop school libraries and purchase books. For further reading (in finnish):https://www.oph.fi/fi/uutiset/2017/lukuklaani-hanke-elvyttamaan-lasten-lukuharrastusta
