The welfare and leisure board of Lahti unanimously decided to close the Launee library as of January 1, 2026.
The board states that the savings targeted for the library's financial plan years 2026 – 2027 will be realized with this decision.
The mobile library routes will be redesigned from the beginning of 2026, taking into account the closure of the Laune library.
In addition, the board decided that the library in Mukkula will continue to operate, but the location of the library in more affordable premises than the multi-purpose building will be under clearance.
Otherwise, the board decided the issues according to the agenda at its meeting on October 9, 2024.
