You have to buy a license to read it. For example, in our library one can read the book inside parliament's own network, because we have bought the license to use it. Only options are commercial e-book bookshops, like: https://www.kauppakamarikauppa.fi/collections/juridiikka-kirjat/products/opas-keskuskauppakamarin-valimiesmenettelysaantoihin-guide-to-the-finnish-arbitration-ruleshttps://lakitieto.edita.fi/verkkokauppa/rikos-ja-prosessioikeus/rikos-ja-prosessioikeus-kirjat/guide-to-the-finnish-arbitration-rules/ 
Is it possible to donate books in Finnish, Swedish, English, Russian and Ukrainian to Pasila Library? 57 It is possible to offer books that are in good condition as donations to Helmet libraries. However, there are two things to keep in mind here:First, the books aren't donated directly to any particular library — rather, the books "float" between all the libraries of the organization, so even if a book is initially received by, say, Pasila library, the book might well end up in the shelves of various other libraries in the area.Second, the library only accepts the books it judges there would be sufficient demand for, so the library might be somewhat picky when it comes to book donations — the main reason for this is is the fact that the library has to remove thousands of books every year from its collections in order to make room for new…
I would like to view the number of book borrowers in “each” public library of Helsinki for the year 2019 30 The public libraries of Finland release each year public data about all kinds of things at https://tilastot.kirjastot.fi/.The data can be sorted so that you can see the data of all the Helsinki libraries collectively, but unfortunately you can't see data of each individual library (e.g. Pasila library, Oodi library, etc...). If you are interested in the data relating to the number of borrowers and loans of the public libraries of Helsinki collectively in 2019, you can find it here: https://tilastot.kirjastot.fi/?orgs=400&years=2019&stats=104%2C110%2C111#resultsAs of now, the data relating to each specific library has to be extracted from our library system manually, and if you are interested in such data, you can try contacting…

I’m a foreigner, I would like to visit a library here in Finland. And the thing is if I use a space or a table and have my own art materials with me to do some… 45 Hello,starting point is that all services in public libraries are free of charge. Still here in Finland there are little differences how libraries run their space etc. reservation policy. This is due every city, county or region have more or less their own library networks and therefore their individual ways to organize services.  I suggest you to contact the library where you want to work at and ask about their services and space etc.. Give a call or contact service desk for some libraries don't have space to be reserved. In some libraries card is needed and in some it´s not, I´d guess depending nature of necessity and type of the space.  For a library card photo identity card is needed.Since you addressed your question here in Helmet-…

The only similar book would be Naulan kantaan : nykysuomen idiomisanakirja (Otava, 1993). Though not quite what you are looking for, the phrasal dictionary Suurella sydämellä ihan sikana : suomen kielen kuvaileva fraasisanakirja (Gummerus, 2008) covers many Finnish idioms.You might also find the following bilingual dictionaries useful: Suomi-englanti idiomi- ja fraasisanakirja (Art House, 2007)Bird in the hand is worth kymmenen oksalla : 50 Finnish/English idioms in English and Finnish (WSOY, 2002)Parempi pyy pivossa kuin two in the bush : 50 Finnish idioms in English and Finnish = 50 englantilaista idiomia suomeksi ja…
My family has few books that would like to donate, give them further. Does the main library from Jyväskylä accepts book donations? 26 I'm sorry, but Jyväskylä City Library no longer accepts book donations.

God morning,I have a library card from Forrsa,but I moved in Vaasa,If I want to apply for Vaasa library's card, How can I do it? My son was 9 years old; he… 44 Unfortunately the library card you have for Forssa doesn't work in Vaasa. You can easily apply for a library card at any of our libraries with a valid photo ID (for example, a passport or a driving licence).All Vaasa city library locations have a wide range of materials for children, young people and adults. All of the libraries have "Opi lukemaan"-books (learn to read) for children. Those books could be a good start for your child as well. Also selkokirjallisuus (easy to read) could be a good option. Both of the categories have different reading levels, so it's probably easiest if you come to the library to see these books in person. The "Opi lukemaan" category has book series such as "Punainen banaani", "Sininen banaani", "Lukuavain" etc…
