Many other libraries in Finland are also open for general public: National Library, University libraries, many special libraries (e.g Library of Parliament, Library of the Genealogical society in Finland - though only refence, Migration Institute of Finland etc.), so, no, it is not correct to say that people lend books only in public or school libraries, many use the services of other libraries too. In addition it is of course possible that you can borrow books in clubs and organisations you are a member of (e.g. student organisations). You can browse Finnish Libraries in our Library Directory.
The Helmet library reading history can list only those items that you borrow after you activate the reading history.
Unfortunately items that had been borrowed before the activation cannot be recovered.
After the compensation is paid it takes approximately a week or two until the data gets off of your libraryaccount. This is because first the debt collection agency must inform the library and second the library's debt collection departement manually takes out the paid material from your account.
The libraries' e-book service requires Finnish domicile. You can use paid e-book services, e.g. https://www.storytel.com/fi and https://www.bookbeat.com/fi. The services usually have a free one-month trial
