I'm sorry, but Jyväskylä City Library no longer accepts book donations. The main library has a special shelf for customers, where you can bring unnecessary books and take the ones you want from the shelf.

The great famine of Ireland took place in 1845-1849, and it is said that about a million people died of hunger during those years. In the early 1840's around a third of Irish people depended on the potato as their main source of food, and thus the destruction of the potato harvest because of potato blight in 1845 launched a catastrophe.
