Hi!
I am deeply sorry that your returning progress hasn´t been working as it should. I recommend you to call to your local library and find out what happened there. Here we don´t solve out client´s loaning and returning issues because of the information security.
All libraries have machines where you can borrow and return your loans. Librarians will advice you more about these things at your local library. You can check information, locations and phone numbers from libraries here: https://www.helmet.fi/Masterpages/#tab-libraries.
The studios can be reserved via a system called Varaamo, https://varaamo.hel.fi/, but these kind of services are very popular and it isn't likely that you can get a room at such a short notice. You could visit Oodi in the city center and ask if they could help you in any way, since you only are here for one day and Varaamo perhaps doesn't help you.
"How to register
Bring your library card and a photo ID with you. On the identity cards webpage, you can check which identity cards are accepted.
The staff asks you to read the self-service library rules. By signing the rules, you accept them. You can take the signed rules home with you.
The library employee enters your name in the library database.
Read the emergency instructions of the library you use. They are available at the library.
You can now start using the self-service library. " https://www.helmet.fi/en-US/Libraries_and_services/Selfservice_libraries
If there is no staff at the local library you use, contact the nearest regional library. e.g.…
In Espoo, you can reserve a sewing machine at varaamo.espoo.fi You can also use the booking office in English
You can log in with your library card and its pincode number.
You can search with the word sewing machine and limit your search to, for example, the Tapiola library.
When you click on the picture of the sewing machine, a window opens with a calendar at the bottom.
You can choose the day and time you want.

Very little information about the clock could be found in books or in the internet. In the book Högström Hilkka: Helsingin rautatieasema - Helsinki railway station (ISBN 951-53-0533-0) is the following chapter:
"The Siemens-Schuckert electrical company installed the German clockwork for the Helsinki Railway Station tower. Originally the weights had to be cranked up daily by hand. The dial was made by a Finnish workshop (Oy Arvo Urho). In the 1930's, an electric rewinding apparatus was installed, and in 1980 the clock was coupled with a quart-controlled central mechanism.
...Over the years, travellers have liked to bet on the tower's dimensions. Its height from street level is 48.5 metres. The diameter of the dial is 3.3 metres; the…
The height of the central tower of Tuomiokirkko is 71 meters.

It seems like Eevaneule-magazine has been published only from 1971 to 1986. In the Helsinki City Library storage we have years 1977 - 1982. They are original paper magazines, there is no on-line version available. You can contact the publisher A-lehdet, http://www.a-lehdet.fi/ in order to find out more about the magazine and its history (e-mail: info@a-lehdet.fi ).
You can search HelMet libraries video casette collection by choosing keyword search http://www.helmet.fi/search/X for keyword you can put Agatha Christie and change all types of material to video casette. By clicking the title of the video you get the location infomation and the original title. Most of the video collection are spoken in original language, only the subtitles are in finish.
Unfortunally HelMet libraries collection don't have "And there were none" by Agatha Cristie. But there are several other films made from her books. You should find "And there were none" videocasette in any video rental company.
