If i understood correctly, you are searching for a possibility to find materials, especially games, in every (public) libraries in one "catalogue". There is Finna.fi, which contains a great part of Finnish library materials, but not quite all of it yet. You can see how Finna looks like here, https://finna.fi/. Finna has an own developers-Wiki, https://www.kiwi.fi/display/Finna/Finna Maybe you can find the information you need there, or at least contact persons. You can send mail to kiwi-posti@helsinki.fi.
An other way to find library materials in one search is the metasearch of Kirjastot.fi, https://monihaku.kirjastot.fi/fi/. Here the problem is that since the metasearch searches on different databases with different kinds of solutions in… |

The promoting of reading is an important task for both schools and libraries. Reading books in central in schools, pupils read and do projects, essays, analyses of many sorts in schools. Library is often a partner in these projects, we recommend books, booklists, provide books both to school classes and pupils and other people that come to libraries. You can find information about promoting reading at this site The Finnish Reading Center, https://lukukeskus.fi/english/
There are many projects where reading is promoted for instance, Lukuliike https://lukuliike.fi/en/, Lukuinto (motivation for reading) http://www.lukuinto.fi/, Lue lapselle (Read to your/a child) https://luelapselle.fi/.
Libraries have various methods to promote reading,… |

Openings in the library are very often published in Kirjastot.fi, https://www.kirjastot.fi/ammattikalenteri The difficult part is that they are published in Finnish, but if you can read Finnish or translate the messages, it's the easiest way to follow them. If you want jobs in Kouvola, you could follow Kouvola City jobs in their website, https://www.kouvola.fi/tyo-ja-yrittaminen/avoimet-tyopaikat/ also in Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/uusityokouvola .

You can borrow books in the library if you have a library card. You can get a library card if you are over 15 years old and have an address in Finland or if you are an exchange student or researcher from abroad. You send your question to the Ask a Librarian -service in Finland, so visiting the library can be challenging if you are not near hear. For exemple Everyday life in Joseon-era Korea : economy and society, Han'guk Yŏksa Yŏn'guhoe, kirjoittaja. ; Shin, Michael D., toimittaja,… |
