Is it possible to donate books in Finnish, Swedish, English, Russian and Ukrainian to Pasila Library? 452 It is possible to offer books that are in good condition as donations to Helmet libraries. However, there are two things to keep in mind here:First, the books aren't donated directly to any particular library — rather, the books "float" between all the libraries of the organization, so even if a book is initially received by, say, Pasila library, the book might well end up in the shelves of various other libraries in the area.Second, the library only accepts the books it judges there would be sufficient demand for, so the library might be somewhat picky when it comes to book donations — the main reason for this is is the fact that the library has to remove thousands of books every year from its collections in order to make room for new…

Working in Finnish Libraries 644 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…

Il ruolo della donna nel opera "Niskavuoren Heta" di Hella Wuolijoki. 1253 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.
