Modern libraries in Finland, the Helmet area, and Helsinki specifically, have been described as living rooms for the citizens. We loan out various material, but also offer services on location, and organize events for and by the city residents. At a Helmet library one can loan out a blood pressure monitor, a radon meter, or a power drill. At the library you can use a computer, a 3D printer, or a sewing machine. Events vary from reading fairy tales for children, to reading groups, to music and movies.
This development has been gradual. While library concerts organized by the library music clubs were crowd magnets already in the 1960s (Laakso 2010, 375), and listening to music with headphones became the most important form of activity…
No, as long as the book you reserved is part of a collection of any Helmet-library (public library in Espoo, Helsinki, Kauniainen or Vantaa) making a reservation is free.
На сайте Статистического бюро Финляндии есть таблица, которая содержит данные о странах мира. Информация обновлена в ноябре 2006 года. Вот адрес:
http://www.stat.fi/tup/maanum/03_pinta-ala_vakiluku_ja_paakaupunki_mait…
В таблице есть столбец «population density» (плотность населения). Оказывается, что самая редконаселенная страна в мире сейчас – Монголия. Плотность населения Монголии составляет 1.8 чел./ кв. км.
В таблице указаны и более редко населенные регионы (напр. Западная Сахара, Гренландия), но это не самостоятельные страны.
Do you mean Bjarne Dahlqvist? He is Finnish inventor and entrepreneur, who has started the famous furniture factory BD Möbel: http://www.bdmobel.com/
We found no personal information about Bjarne Dahlqvist, but maybe you could ask directly from the company. Few months ago Finnish TV broadcasted a documentary about him. The documentary was called "Yrittaja Bjarne" and it was about him and his businesses in Estonia.

Hello,
You can get a new library card at any Helmet library by showing your ID card (with a photo) to the library personnel. At the library they can also check out, if your lost library card is maybe found, and can be fetched from a library somewhere. The cost for a new card is 3 euros for adults, and 2 euros for children.
Note, however, that you can also borrow books with an ID card, from the desk if there's personnel present, and if you are a registered customer.
It is also possible to get a virtual library card to your smart phone by installing an app called Taskukirjasto, but you need to know your library card number and pin code in order to use it. With Taskukirjasto you can also renew your loans, make…
In Finland municipalities are not obligated to have school libraries. Most schools have a library although they may be outdated and have a rather modest collection. Many schools cooperate with the public library. Some municipalities have their own information literacy curriculum which schools and libraries have compiled together. Accordingly to the National Core Curriculum for Basic Education organizations like museums, sport facilities, art centra, public libraries are seen as learning environments.

Thank you for message. I asked from my work colleague for information regarding this matter, as he moved from Australia to Finland many years ago. As I work for Espoo Libraries, I can only speak on behalf of our libraries. However, the library systems in Helsinki and Kerava are very similar. It is quite difficult to work in Finnish libraries without at least a working knowledge of Finnish. However, it's not impossible. I would suggest that you contact the libraries directly that you are interested in working in, and see if you can organise a work placement there. That way, they can see your working ability without any risk to them, and may be able to offer you a contract afterwards.
Also, if you move to Finland, then you…

Yes, you can. Any book borrowed from a Helmet library can be returned to another Helmet library. For example the book which you have borrowed from Entresse can be returned to all the Helmet libraries in Espoo, Helsinki, Vantaa and Kauniainen.

You will find information about genealogy and research in Finland in the Internetsite of the Genealogical Society of Finland, http://www.genealogia.fi/indexe.htm . Maybe the site of the Institute of Migration would also be of some interest to you, http://www.migrationinstitute.fi/index_e.php .

This service is meant for everyone. Since we are finnish and operating in three languages, of which the two are the official languages In Finland, Finnish and Swedish, most users are finns (both Finnish speaking and Swedish speaking). We want to help also persons from abroad who have questions concerning Finland. Our questioners fit all descriptions: adults with professional or “practical” information needs, students, schoolchildren and senior citizens.
Per quanto riguarda la sua tema (il ruolo della donna nel opera "Niskavuoren Heta" di Hella Wuolijoki) io consiglierei la ricerca di Anu Koivunen (Performative histories, foundational fictions: gender and sexuality in Niskavuori films, 2003) . In finnico c'e quella di Marja-Terttu Halpio-Huttunen (Naisen asema Hella Wuolijoen tuotannossa, Turku 1972), che è essenziale. Vale la pena di informarsi anche dalla biblioteca di universitá di Turku.
People in remote areas get books by lending them in Bookbuses or Mobile libraries.
I got the question to here Rovaniemi, Northern Finland. But the same is in the remote places in Eastern Finland or Ostrobothnia.
There are bookbuses in 12 municipalicities from 21municipalities in Lapland and two bookbuses, which are common with many communities also in Sweden and Norway.
