Instructions
Discuss about library - ask, comment, make a point!
Helsinki City Library’s forum is open for everyone.
How to post a new message
You can start a new topic or comment existing posts. When posting, remember to check that you have filled all of the required fields: your name, title, and the message itself.
When posting a new topic, remember to title your message. Use descriptive and expressive headlines - it’s much easier to notice and comment your posting this way. Please avoid using caps at the forum, especially at the title field. They make the forum much less readable.
After filling the title, write your message in the body field. Add your name (or your nick name) to the creator name field. Finally, you can post your message by clicking the add new topic / insert message button.

There is no premoderation on the Helsinki City Library’s forum, so posts are not validated before appearing on the forum. You are expected to follow good manners and comply with Finnish law. Helsinki City Library has no penal or indemnity liability over the content of the messages posted on the forum. Everyone is responsible for ones’ own posts and their content.
Forum moderation
Although Helsinki City Library’s forums are not premoderated, the library staff still actively follows the forums.
