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-…
There is no monolingual dictionary of Finnish idioms as comprehensive as The Oxford Dictionary of Idioms available. 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…
I'm sorry, but Jyväskylä City Library no longer accepts book donations. The main library has a special shelf for customers, where you can bring unnecessary books and take the ones you want from the shelf. You can only bring a few books to the shelf because there is limited space. The book exchange shelf is on the 1st floor of the main library next to the elevator.

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…

School libraries in Finland are not regulated by the law. School libraries are often very small and most of the services provided to schools by libraries are delivered by the public libraries.
Due to the decline in literacy, schools have been offered money, for example by The Finnish Cultural Foundation, to develop school libraries and purchase books. For further reading (in finnish):https://www.oph.fi/fi/uutiset/2017/lukuklaani-hanke-elvyttamaan-lasten-lukuharrastusta
