The recreational activities in municipalities range from organised, semi-professional activities, entertainment events, training centres, associations, courses, restaurants to social meeting places.
Every municipality has a public library. Opening hours and services vary from one municipality to another. For detailed information about library services, contact your municipality’s culture department.
Many Norwegian municipalities give special focus to activities for children and young people in order to provide them with a good environment in which to grow up. The municipality often supports activities such as before and after-school programmes, youth clubs, sports clubs, culture schools and associations for small children.
