First, I would like to refer to a question answered in this service some years ago about Luku-Suomi ("Reading Finland") project (2001-2004): http://www.libraries.fi/en-GB/ask_librarian/question.aspx?ID=927122d6-6…

It would be easier to answer your question if you could define it a little bit. What kind of libraries are you interested in – public, scientific, specialist etc.? Libraries where, all over the world? You sent your question to the Finnish Ask a librarian service, so I’ll give you some kind of an answer from a Finnish point of view. This might, however, not be anything near to what you would like to know. If so, please send us – or to some other similar service elsewhere - a new question.
First of all, you could check the following pages: http://www.libraries.fi/info There you will find lots of information about all libraries in Finland. If you click the link “Library branch” -> Articles and presentations -> The Scandinavian Public… |

Best way to do this is to contact libraries directly, as every library decides of their events independently. You can find the contact details in the HelMet-homepage.
I am certain that most of the libraries in Espoo would be interested in having a story time in English!
