Unfortunately it is not possible to send any customer info via e-mail or phone due to confidentiality and privacy reasons.
You can obtain a temporary customer id for the access to e-library by sending a request to the address ekortti@helmetkirjasto.fi. Temporary customer id is valid until 31 May, 2020. Online courses and e-books for example contain some language learning material.

You can get a new permanent card from library customer service when libraries are fully open again in June. There is more information about the current situation on Helmet website.

If i understood correctly, you are searching for a possibility to find materials, especially games, in every (public) libraries in one "catalogue". There is Finna.fi, which contains a great part of Finnish library materials, but not quite all of it yet. You can see how Finna looks like here, https://finna.fi/. Finna has an own developers-Wiki, https://www.kiwi.fi/display/Finna/Finna Maybe you can find the information you need there, or at least contact persons. You can send mail to kiwi-posti@helsinki.fi.
An other way to find library materials in one search is the metasearch of Kirjastot.fi, https://monihaku.kirjastot.fi/fi/. Here the problem is that since the metasearch searches on different databases with different kinds of solutions in… |

Your customer record is not in our register anymore. Probably You haven't used the card for some years, so the record has been deleted. You ought to visit any Helmet library to get a new card. Take Your ID card with You.

The book "Surullisen hahmon ritarit" by Sauli Pesonen is in collections of some libraries in Finland. You can see the libraries from the datebase Finna:

You can ask an opportunity to interlibrary loan from your own library. Now all the libraries in Finland are closed during the corona epidemic and unfortunately all our services are not functioning as normal.

There are in Helsinki Central Library Oodi three rooms with console games and one game room with gaming computers. In these rooms there are 14 gaming computers. More information here:

Obviously it is the only library with 10+ gaming PCs.

Unfortunately this book is not in any libraries in Helsinki or even in Finnish libraries anywhere. From the database WorldCat you can see libraries which has this book in their collections:

Hi!
I am deeply sorry that your returning progress hasn´t been working as it should. I recommend you to call to your local library and find out what happened there. Here we don´t solve out client´s loaning and returning issues because of the information security.
All libraries have machines where you can borrow and return your loans. Librarians will advice you more about these things at your local library. You can check information, locations and phone numbers from libraries here: https://www.helmet.fi/Masterpages/#tab-libraries. |
