This image depicts the ground floor of the Oodi Central Library in Helsinki, Finland. The large, modern interior features a light brown wooden ceiling, a patterned light-colored floor with dark dividing lines, and significant natural light entering from large windows in the background. A large projector screen on the upper left wall displays text under the heading "This is how we do it here," outlining library principles such as non-discrimination and respect. Below this, a long, dark-colored service counter with vertical slat detailing spans the midground. Behind the counter, multiple individuals identified as staff are present at various workstations with computer monitors. One female with short brown hair is seated at a central workstation, and another female with dark hair is visible further right. To the left of the main counter, three male patrons are standing. The front of the counter features integrated display racks filled with brochures. Several self-service kiosks with touchscreens are also present on the counter. A tall, black vertical sign on the right side of the counter prominently displays "Lainaus" (Finnish for 'Lending' or 'Checkout'), with "Checking Out" in smaller English text. An escalator with a glass balustrade is visible ascending on the right. Two small, white dome-shaped security cameras are mounted on the wooden ceiling. A silver waste bin stands next to a self-service point on the far right. Through the large windows in the background, urban buildings are visible.
