Her intervention was structured with the following points:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4: Equitable education<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All libraries support literacy programs, provide a safe space for learning. Soininvaara said that in Helsinki City Library they have a good program for schools and kindergartens, where they visit libraries regularly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new target groups are elderly people, immigrants with no Finnish skills, people with no access to web and mobile services (many of those are common groups), by organising senior peer learning clubs in ict-skills, language cafes and digital guidance with computers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10: Reduce inequalities<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this field the most important programmes are related to equitable access to information, freedom of expression, freedom of association and assembly, and privacy are central to individuals\u2019 Independence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This programmes in the library are focused to lifeline to marginalised groups, who may struggle to access information, skills or support elsewhere with the aim of foster community engagement and citizen participation. She admitted that library\u2019s values such as freedom of expression and equality are sometimes in conflict with each other and from this point of view, during the pandemic they met\u00a0 problems with aggressive anti-vaccine and anti-covid demonstrators. When this situation got easier, the library met the propaganda according the Russian aggressive war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But she considers that is it still important to keep all the propaganda materials on shelves in the name of freedom of expression.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12: Responsible consumption<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her statement was that libraries are the precursors of the new sharing economy, offering all kinds of materials for loan (not only books, music, movies, and all kinds of information resources, but also tools, musical instruments, appliances, and more), thus reducing the carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13: Climate action<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Libraries provide public access to information about climate change and help raise awareness about the critical and urgent need to protect our environment and to work together to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change. Oodi is planned and\u00a0 built as energy efficient and carbon neutral as possible. Still we have much to do, and we must always examine our operations thoroughly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16: Peace, justice, strong institutions<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These times we need more awareness of mis\/disinformation and skills for media literacy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On this spring Helsinki City Library organized a study of how people retrieve information and which is the library\u2019s role there. Libraries were very much trusted to share reliable information, but not many used it\u2019s information services to ask about covid19 or vaccines or Ukraine war. In this regard Oodi organized some fact checking events, but we must do a lot more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soininvaara has developed a long career before become director of Oodi. In fact, her former position for 14 years was deputy library director and in this position she was in charge of the planning process of the building of a new central library. Other tasks were related to library administration, developing library services and library\u2019s collections.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_cell_one_fifth-f57c70f9f5a63fd800eb5b955b847c2a\">\n.flex_cell.av-av_cell_one_fifth-f57c70f9f5a63fd800eb5b955b847c2a{\nvertical-align:top;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_cell.av-av_cell_one_fifth-f57c70f9f5a63fd800eb5b955b847c2a{\npadding:30px 30px 30px 30px !important;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_cell av-av_cell_one_fifth-f57c70f9f5a63fd800eb5b955b847c2a av-gridrow-cell av_one_fifth no_margin  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_cell_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  content-align-top'  ><div class='flex_cell_inner'><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id='after_grid_row_1'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-1543'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'><div  class='av-social-sharing-box av-av_social_share-ab1295240bea1d1200dd92c8b0db438f av-social-sharing-box-default  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_layout_row  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  av-social-sharing-box-fullwidth'><div class=\"av-share-box\"><h5 class='av-share-link-description av-no-toc '>Compartir esta entrada<\/h5><ul class=\"av-share-box-list noLightbox\"><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-facebook avia_social_iconfont' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Compartir en Facebook\" href='https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/2022\/06\/08\/soininvaara\/&#038;t=SOININVAARA%3A%20IN%20LIBRARIES%20SUSTAINABILITY%20IS%20NOT%20JUST%20A%20MODE%20OF%20ACTION%2C%20BUT%20SUSTAINABILITY%20IS%20AT%20THE%20CORE%20OF%20THE%20PURPOSE%20OF%20LIBRARIES' data-av_icon='\ue8f3' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Compartir en Facebook'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Compartir en Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-twitter avia_social_iconfont' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Compartir en X\" href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=SOININVAARA%3A%20IN%20LIBRARIES%20SUSTAINABILITY%20IS%20NOT%20JUST%20A%20MODE%20OF%20ACTION%2C%20BUT%20SUSTAINABILITY%20IS%20AT%20THE%20CORE%20OF%20THE%20PURPOSE%20OF%20LIBRARIES&#038;url=https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/?p=1543' data-av_icon='\ue932' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Compartir en X'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Compartir en X<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-mail avia_social_iconfont' ><a  aria-label=\"Compartir por correo\" href='mailto:?subject=SOININVAARA%3A%20IN%20LIBRARIES%20SUSTAINABILITY%20IS%20NOT%20JUST%20A%20MODE%20OF%20ACTION%2C%20BUT%20SUSTAINABILITY%20IS%20AT%20THE%20CORE%20OF%20THE%20PURPOSE%20OF%20LIBRARIES&#038;body=https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/2022\/06\/08\/soininvaara\/' data-av_icon='\ue805' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Compartir por correo'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Compartir por correo<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1541,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1543","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home","category-ideasen","post_format-post-format-video"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1543","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1543"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1543\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1544,"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1543\/revisions\/1544"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1543"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1543"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
