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.

It seems that you have not logged in to the system in the correct way, because there is no time limit for the customers of Helmet libraries.
To do it correctly, first click the link "Sign in", then choose Helmet Library from the drop-down menu, and then log in with your library card number and PIN-code.
The contents of Flipster and PressReader differ from each other. Therefore, in order to get the whole benefit, please use both services.

|
Books about Russian or Soviet films can be found from shelf 77.4971 in Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen libraries and from shelf 777.951 in Helsinki.
All libraries but Kauniainen have a floating collection now, which means that when a book is returned to a library it stays there, instead of being sent to a home library. So if you mean that a certain library used to have a great collection, it may now have been spread between several libraries. |

If You want to get interlibrary loan from Finland You must to go Your local library and ask them to send Your Interlibrary loan request to Helsinki City Library.

No, sorry, but you can't return books you borrowed from Espoo to Hämeenlinna. Espoo library belongs to Helmet libraries, and Hämeenlinna library to Vanamo libraries. You must return your loans from Espoo to Espoo or some other Helmet library. If you want to become a customer of Vanamo libraries, you need a new library card. You may obtain library card by presenting a photo ID at the service desk in any of the Vanamo libraries. Same card is valid in Hämeenlinna, Hattula, and Janakkala. |

Thank you for your question. Yes, it is possible for libraries to loan physical books from other libraries. We call it interlibrary loan. From city libraries our charge of an interlibrary loan is 4 euros, from university, university of applied sciences or special libraries the charge is 13 euros.
The book you need is in collection of Helsinki city library. However the book is now on loan. If you want to have the book as soon as possible, we need to order it from university libraries. If you are studying in Xamk (South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences) the easiest for you is to order the book from Kouvola library campus. The Kotka library campus will do it for you.
If you want us to make an interlibrary loan request, please… |

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 will have the… |

In Helmet libraries the loan periods do not expire during 16.3. – 19.4.2020. If you have not returned the loans by the due date, the loan period will be lengthened automatically.
While the libraries are closed, you cannot pick up your holds. The reserved materials will be kept waiting for pick-up for a couple of days after the libraries are reopened. |
| How do you say in Finnish: "Set and maintain boundaries"? |
66 |
|
24.3.2022 |
|
Translation isn't easy. In most cases, you need to know more how and where the sentence is used. Like in this case: what kind of boundary is being set and maintained? A literal boundary line between neighbours or countries? More abstract concept, like personal boundaries in a certain situation?
Perhaps "Asettaa ja ylläpitää rajoja" would work in both cases? If this is about personal boundaries, I might add a possessive affix. |

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… |
