105 Rovaniemi, and it serves library users in all of Finland. Its work for the enhancement of the Sámi language and culture covers the whole country. The libraries of Finland participate in a range of networks. All the public libraries of the Finnish Sámi Area and the Special Library in Rovaniemi operate within the same library system as concerns the transportation system. Online services are provided both in Finnish and North Sámi. With each other and together with local Sámi and the Sámi Parliament, libraries run joint service projects aiming at promoting the Sámi language and culture. The most important one of the new joint library projects is the project Johtti girjeradju/Jutaava kirjasto (Crossing Library), which creates and realises Sámi events and events in the Sámi language in the whole area of Sápmi, the Land of the Sámi. Its purpose is also to reflect on the concept an d methods of Sámi library work. At present, the most wide-ranging cooperation project in the administrative fields of culture and education is the project Sápmi miehtá (“Across Sápmi”), a virtual project on the development and the learning environment of t he Sámi language and culture. It is run by the Sámi Education Institute. The project is interactive and based on developing remote access and web contents. The Sámi Special Library transmits Sámi learning sessions to the whole province, is engaged in the S ámi reading group Lohkanváibmilat and the social media, edits different types of reading and selected lists of Sámi material, and spreads information on the project Sápmi miehtá to libraries elsewhere in Finland. In Finland, well over half of the Sámi live outside the Sámi Area. In the Sámi Area, there are mobile libraries in all the municipalities: Muonio, Enontekiö, Inari, Sodankylä and Utsjoki. The mobile libraries provide library services to individuals in their immediate neighbourhoods in this region where distances are long.
