Sounds like you have to replace the book. Each book has its own price and ranges from around 9 € to 450 €.
Usually the price is around 25€. You can also replace the book with another similar one.
Occasionally we have knitting guidance in libraries.
In the autumn and winter, many libraries (Entresse, Kauklahti; Soukka and Sello) have handicraft clubs.
You could be asking for guidance at Sello's handicraft shop.

I have searched the Internet and several library catalogues. The French National Library (www.bnf.fr) has a big digital library (gallica.bnf.fr). There are also medieval romances, but, unfortunately, not "Roman de Florimont"). The only version of "Roman de Florimont" practically available seems to be the following edition: Aimon de Varennes, "Florimont: ein altfranzösischer Abenteuerroman; zum ersten Male mit Einleitung, Anmerkungen, Namenverzeichnis und Glossar unter Benutzung der von Alfred Risop gesammelten handschriftlichen Materialen herausgegeben von Alfons Hilka". The book has been published in Göttingen 1932. The text is in French; only the introduction is in German. Several libraries in Europe own the book, so it should be…

There are a lot of stories about Santa Claus´ history. It's known that there lived the bishop Nicolaus at the 300 century in Turkey who liked children and then Nicolaus´day 6.12. was the celebration day when kids got presents.
Joulupukki/Santa Claus as an old man with grey and long beard began his journey to Finland´s homes during 19th century. Finland´s radio declared Korvatunturi as the home of our Joulupukki in the year 1927. He lives there even today with his family although he himself also spends a lot of time here in Rovaniemi at the Santa Claus village:

I asked colleagues, but we invented, what could be wrong.
Would you go to your nearest library beads to investigate the matter?
Take your library card and photo identification with you.
You are right - it isn't easy to find material in English on handicapped/disabled people in Finland. Something, however, can be found on the Internet, though most sites are only in Finnish and Swedish. You don't specify what sort of information you need or for what purpose, but I will try to give you some links:
http://www.invalidiliitto.fi/in_english.html, http://193.209.217.5/in/internet/english.nsf/NET/081101144154EH?openDoc…, http://www.stm.fi/Resource.phx/eng/subjt/socwe/disab/index.htx, http://www.tilastokeskus.fi/index_en.html
(for statistics). There is also an association of disabled people called Kynnys (Threshold). Their website, at http://www.kynnys.fi/, is unfortunately only in Finnish, but you can surely contact them directly…
Yes we have. You can search in HelMet-catalogue (www.helmet.fi) also in English. Books in Albanian language you can find like this: choose guided search Keyword , write two small stars (**), limit your search by material code ’book’ and by language ’Albanian’. You can also choose Sorting order by ’year of publication’ or ’alphabetical’. As a result you get the collection of literature in Albanian language in Helsinki metropolitan area City Libraries (Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Kauniainen). In Helsinki Pasila, the Main Llibrary, has the biggest number of books in Albanian, but at the moment the library is closed for renovation.
Thank you very much! We have saved all answers since we started in year 1998. You can find them here http://www.libraries.fi/en-GB/ask_librarian/archive/ (this is the search, the newest answers are listed here http://www.libraries.fi/en-GB/ask_librarian/newest/ . The most part of the answers are available, only those containing personal information that can't be published is hidden. Our RSS-feeds are at present only in Finnish, but we should of course include all languages (Finnish, Swedish and English) in the feed. This is the addres to our RSS-feed, http://www2.kirjastot.fi/_channels/?ChannelId=7146af19-b294-449a-9ecc-6… . I'll enquire about the change, it might not be to difficult to change it in near future.
First, we have to tell you that we are not copyright specialists, so this answer has been given by amateurs.
According the Finnish Copyright Law (“Tekijänoikeuslaki”, http://www.finlex.fi/fi/laki/ajantasa/1961/19610404), translations and adaptations are protected by the law, so you need a permission from the author when making adaptations. If it’s the same text in other words, I think it will be considered an adaptation. In the Finnish Copyright Law, there is no fair use as in USA.
You could try the URL http://www.miragebookmark.ch/wb_collector's_page.htm . If you are especially looking for Finnish bookmarks, try a Google search ( www.google.com ) using the word "keräily" or "keräilijät". There are quite a few pages with different collectors' items, but so far I have not found any Finnish pages concentrating on collecting bookmarks.
You will find our bibliographic database directly at http://www.libplussa.fi/#en or through our home page (
http://www.lib.hel.fi/english/index.html ) by clicking "Books & other materials".
Start by choosing the city where you usually use public libraries. This will lead you to the "Basic search".
If you are looking for material about a certain topic, choose "Subject heading or class" and type your search word. Unfortunately the subject headings should be written in Finnish, because our bibliographic records are in Finnish. If you have any basic knowledge of Finnish (or a Finnish dictionary!) you can check the correct terms at http://vesa.lib.helsinki.fi/ . In the title search you can also use search words in English (use the…
