Abstract

Two art educators with different backgrounds and methods of art education have been working in two public libraries in Vantaa City. The art educators create a safe and easy access to space where kids can fulfill their ideas and express themselves through different media. With the art educators, the library becomes a multisensory, exciting and fun learning environment. In this article, Taru Liikanen writes about her experiences at Point library and Teemu Kide about his experiences in Länsimaki Library.
