In Finnish libraries we have some ways to encourage people to read. In Helmet-libraries in metropolitan area we have for example reading circles (lukupiirit in Finnish), Short story hooks (Novellikoukku), story hours for children (satutunnit), study group for immigrant women (Luetaan yhdessä), story telling day, writer visits and The Helmet-reading challenge  (Helmet-lukuhaaste). Many of them are also in use in many other libraries in Finland. You can find more information from the Helmet-website:
