The studios can be reserved via a system called Varaamo, https://varaamo.hel.fi/, but these kind of services are very popular and it isn't likely that you can get a room at such a short notice. You could visit Oodi in the city center and ask if they could help you in any way, since you only are here for one day and Varaamo perhaps doesn't help you.

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…
School libraries in Finland are not regulated by the law. School libraries are often very small and most of the services provided to schools by libraries are delivered by the public libraries.
Due to the decline in literacy, schools have been offered money, for example by The Finnish Cultural Foundation, to develop school libraries and purchase books. For further reading (in finnish):

There are actually three famous Finns by the name of Antti Isotalo: the farmer and knife-fighter Antti Heikinpoika Isotalo or Isoo-Antti (1831 - 1911), his grandson Antti Isotalo (1895 - 1964), and the unrelated preacher Antti Matinpoika Isotalo (1824 - 1906). Since the first two have English Wikipedia pages, I assume you mean either of them.Unfortunately, there is not much information available in English about these men, apart from the Wikipedia pages. The blog Your Roots uses Antti Heikinpoika Isotalo as an example in demonstrating how to use Finnish genealogy records, so there is some information about him in this and this blog entry, as well as some of the subsequent ones.Finnish online resources include the National Biography of…
In Helmet-libraries no loans are due when libraries are closed.
Loans will not be due between March 16th and April 19th 2020. If the loan has not been renewed in due, library will extend the due date by two weeks. We shall re-evaluate the situation after Easter.
