What the hell living room? Who is it for?

Aurala's living room is a meeting place and gathering space that is open to everyone - regardless of age, gender, culture or life situation - that is, including you!

What can you do in the living room and when can you come there?

Our community lounge is open for self-use every weekday during Aurala office opening hours! This means you can come and go as you please, read the daily newspaper or grab a game from the board game shelf, be alone or together. There are free toilets in the lounge and you can buy hot chocolate and specialty coffees from the inexpensive coffee machine in addition to regular coffee. We also have a book exchange point where you can find new things to read or bring your unused books for circulation. We also organize various events and activities in the library. 

All living room activities are free of charge!
