Information Services for Immigrants

[Helsinki City Library, Finland]
Now the library is functioning as the national resource centre in this field. The aim of the Central Multilingual Library Service is to enhance library services for foreigners, for instance by purchasing materials in rare languages, which local libraries all over Finland can borrow through interlibrary loan to serve their local patrons.
