Tampere City Library, Metso, is a distinctive and memorable building. It is also the central library of the province of Pirkanmaa. The building has been named Metso because from a bird's eye perspective the building looks like a wood grouse (metso in Finnish). The library was designed by architects Reima and Raili Pietila, very famous and well respected in their field. In addition to Metso, they have also designed Mantyniemi, the official residence of the President of Finland. Metso is the most visited library in Finland, with 5,000-6,000 visitors every day. There are 1.1 million books and 91,000 recordings in the library. There are also lecture rooms, a cafe and an office that distributes EU information to the people of Tampere in the library. On the lower ground floor are the Moomin Valley Museum and Tampere Mineral Museum (entrance is from the Hameenpuisto side of the building).
