History

[edit]

The library was originally founded as one of the Nurmijärvi municipality's district libraries in 1934.[1] The library has been operating in its current location since 2005, before which it was located in the same building as the primary school of Klaukkala.[2]

The library's collections include books, board and console games, music CDs, magazines and movies. To borrow, customer need a Ratamo library card. Residents from out of town can also get a library card.[1]
