FTA opens a Transhumanist Library

The Finnish Transhumanist Association, having realized that transhumanist-themed books are somewhat poorly available in Finland, has opened up a library focusing specifically on transhumanist non-fiction and
fiction. The library works as a network, in that there is no centralized location for it (other than the home of the librarian, Ville Salmensuu) but rather the books are delivered from one borrower to the next directly. Ville merely keeps track of where each book is currently located.

The library currently holds 17 books (2 copies of Citizen Cyborg) but the FTA hopes to keep expanding it gradually, both through purchases and donations, until it is clearly the authoritative source of transhumanist literature in Finland. The library is available to all supporting members of FTA, making it the first membership benefit that FTA offers to its paying members that is not available to basic members. We hope that interest in the library will also increase the number of supporting members of FTA and thus the WTA (as FTA supporting members automatically become also WTA supporting members). The library can be found on FTA’s website (sorry, only in Finnish). If you are interested in knowing more about the library (to perhaps start your own in your local chapter), you can
contact Ville Salmensuu (kirjasto@transhumanismi.org).
