Hi!
I checked the name of the person whom you asked in your query and could not find him on the Helsinki telephone catalogue. In Finland people who move should inform their new address to a local magistrate that keeps a register. The Helsinki magistrate's contact info is:
Helsingin maistraatti
Albertinkatu 25, P.O. Box 309, 00181 Helsinki
Tel. +358 9 695 441
Telefax +358 9 6954 4330
E-mail: helsingin.maistraatti@eslh.intermin.fi
You can also contact Directory Assistance at +358 100 13 or +358 118. This service has all the telephone and mobile phone numbers throughout Finland and it is available 24 hours.
There seems to be only one book in English about Esplanadi: "The Esplanade during the 19th century--Helsinki" by Henrik Lilius, 1984 (ISBN 87-85176-20-6). This work is primarily a pictorial production. It has color reproductions of original tinted project plans and black & white reproductions of original monocrome project plans. The photographs show what form the Esplanade did in fact take during the 19th century. The following address http://www.hel.fi/tourism/html/english/artikkelit/artikkelit/esplanadi… has an article about Esplanadi as well.
Here you have a link to a list of all fiction books in French in HelMet libraries around the capital region:
http://luettelo.helmet.fi/search/X?SEARCH=**&searchscope=4&m=1&l=fre&b=…
So, as you see there are quite a few libraries that harbour at least some kind of a collection of books in French.
If you would like to restrict the search to a given library, go to this page: http://luettelo.helmet.fi/search~S9/X . Type two asterisks (**) in the search field. Instead of Entire collection, choose Fiction. For material type, choose book and for language, French. Then choose the library you want and click Go!
One such association was founded in Käpylä, Helsinki in June 5th 2002 to protect the Käpylä branch of Helsinki City Library which then was threathened to be closed down along with several other small branch libraries in Helsinki.
Local movements in different parts of Helsinki soon reacted against the threat of their local libraries to be closed. In the end, none of the libraries was closed but were given diminished opening hours.
The local library association in Käpylä, Käpylän aluekirjastoyhdistys, is still active and co-operates with the library staff to arrange special events, such as literary evenings, and to develop the services of their local library.
I found two publications about the subject in a database called "WorldCat":

globalisation and social policy reform in Finland and Sweden.

Nestingen, Andrew K: Why nation? :
globalization and national culture in Finland, 1980-2001.
Thesis (Ph. D.)--University of Washington, 2001.
There are also some articles about globalization of Finland, that I found in a database called "Ebsco":
