Finnish Public Library Statistics website contains statistical information about Finnish public libraries. You can choose any particular municipality, for example, Helsinki by clicking the “Municipality” alternative and then pressing the search button. You can then select a required municipality from the dropdown menu. The first web-address is for the Finnish Public Library Statistics homepage and the second one gives you all the key statistical figures for the Helsinki City Library in 2003.

According to the newsletter of the School Library Association in Finland (Suomen koulukirjastoyhdistys ry, Jäsentiedote 1/2005) two school libraries in Espoo have some experience in using the Emilda system. The schools are Finno skola http://www.finno.esboskolorna.fi/
and Mattlidens gymnasium http://www.mattliden.fi/gym/
I found two publications about the subject in a database called "WorldCat":
Timonen, Virpi: Restructuring the welfare state :
globalisation and social policy reform in Finland and Sweden.
Cheltenham, UK ; Northhampton, Mass. : Edward Elgar Pub.,2003.
Nestingen, Andrew K: Why nation? :
globalization and national culture in Finland, 1980-2001.
Thesis (Ph. D.)--University of Washington, 2001.
There are also some articles about globalization of Finland, that I found in a database called "Ebsco":
Sipilä, Jorma: Opening Remarks, 1 July 2001, Tampere.
Social Work in Health Care; 2004, Vol. 39 Issue 1/2, p7, 4p.
Subjects:

As you have noticed yourself, it's quite hard to find information about neem contraceptive products.
There is a list of links concerning alternative medicine in this address:
http://www.fimnet.fi/linkit/Laaketiede/Vaihtoehtolaaketiede/index.html
Perhaps you can find there some further information about these products, and places where to buy them.
You can also visit the homepage of Finnish Medical Association.
http://www.laakariliitto.fi/e/index.html
You can ask there if they know any doctors, who can tell you more about these contraceptive products.
If the book you're asking for isn't found in the stores, ask the staff if it can be ordered for you. I checked websites of the two big bookstore chains, Suomalainen kirjakauppa and Akateeminen kirjakauppa, and according to their internet stores there are available prints of "Der kleine Prinz". Akateeminen promises to have it in 1-2 days, via Suomalainen kirjakauppa it takes 2 weeks. Contact the stores for more info.

For an English speaking person there are two informative web sources of Finnish genealogy:

Public libraries in Finland celebrated their bicentennial in 1994. The founding meeting of the Vaasa Reading Society in the Province of Ostrobothnia on the west coast of Finland took place on the 2nd of August 1794. Although the reading Society was originally meant for its members and partners, other people were also allowed to borrow books for payment. The Reading Society in Vaasa was thus both a "proprietary" and "subscription" library. (Ilkka Mäkinen: Reading Societies in Finland, in Yleiset kirjastot Suomessa. Vaasa 1994, p.104)
The library of the Vaasa Reading Society can be considered to be the beginning of public libraries in Finland. The first public library in Helsinki was founded in 1819, and in Viipuri a public library was…
Building a time machine and time travelling are unsolved scientific problems. Some theories claim that it is possible and some deny.
In Wikipedia there is an article on time travelling http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_travel. In the end of article there are many links to relevant websites.
Here are few books about time machines and time travelling:
Davies, Paul: How to build a time machine. London : Penguin, 2002.
Le Poidevin, Robin: Travels in four dimensions : the enigmas of space and time. Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2003
Gott, J. Richard: Time travel in Einstein’s universe : the physical possibilities of travel through time. London : Phoenix, cop. 2002
The English language originate from the dialects, now called Old English, which were brought to England beginning in the 5th century.

The wireless internet connection service named Stadinetti can be used in every city library in Helsinki. For using Stadinetti, you need a HelMet library card and PIN code. If you don’t have them, you can get them from your local library by showing your identification card (for example your passport or Finnish driving licence).
It’s really hard to say which library would be the best one for you, but all the libraries have certainly space for you and your laptop and a power plug. The nearest one would be Kallio Library (http://www.lib.hel.fi/en-GB/kallio/), street address Viides linja 11 (see http://kartta.hel.fi/opas/indexen.html). Kallio Library is a big library, so there should be a lot of space.
My favourite library is Pasila Library (…
It seems that not. We could not find any references about that. We checked some databases: Fono, Suomen äänitearkisto, Viola. Although Harry Bergström (1910-1989) has several pseudonyms: Gerald Beach, Harold G Burgess, Leonard Fleuvemont, Sointu Karikas, Lenny, Jorge Monterio, Tintti-Kalle
And unfortunately we couldn't find any information about that whose pseudonym is Herbert Cornell.
Hope you will find what you are looking for!
