Yes libraries are happy to receive requests for possible acquisitions (for CDs or any other material). You can make these requests in several ways. First there are special acquisition request forms in libraries that you can fill out and return either to a special box recerved for these requests or directly to library personnel. Second you can, of course, go to a library and make a verbal acquisition request. Finally you can contact libraries by e-mail and make your request in that way.
Please note that it is important that you specify your request as well as possible. Also in your case the request is best to direct to a library with a music department. In Helsinki the Itäkeskus library's music department specializes in film music so…
I asked the results from the Sports Museum of Finland (Suomen urheilumuseo: https://www.urheilumuseo.fi/Kieliversiot/The-Sports-Museum-of-Finland ). They have the archive of Suomen hiihtoliitto: http://www.hiihtoliitto.fi/en/. Unfortunately they don't have the results of the year 1967. Here are their contact information if you want to ask more: urheilumuseo(at)urheilumuseo.fi
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…

We don't offer library courses. You have to have a degree on information and libraries studies or business school level information studies to work in a library.
Below is information from our previous answer (dated 7.4.2010):
"You can study information and library studies in many places in Finland depending on the level you want to reach. You can do higher level studies in three universities: Tampere, Oulu and Åbo Academy (=Swedish speaking uviversity in Turku).Tampere University is maybe the most wellknown of these.
You can also do the business school level studies in Seinäjoki, Oulu, Vaasa, Turku and Helsinki. There are also various open university courses for basic level information studies after which you can continue your studies in…
This site has excellent information on hell bank notes in general:
http://www.luckymojo.com/hellmoney.html : “The word Hell was introduced to China … by Christian missionaries who claimed that non-converted Chinese folks were all "going to Hell" when they died -- and the Chinese, thinking "Hell" was the proper English term for the afterlife, adopted the word. Thus, Hell Bank Notes are simply Afterlife Monetary Offerings or Spirit Money. …when people die, their spirits or ghosts go to an afterlife where they continue to live on, doing the same sort of things why did while alive, eating, drinking, wearing clothes, playing with their children, and so forth. In order to ensure that they have lots of good things in the afterlife, their…

Thanks for your positive feedback. I think the Espoo City Library is also a nice place to work.
The library in Espoo has a wide range of employees. Some of us are library professionals, some are youth instructors or teachers, some are other professionals who have popped into the library. We also have a lot of short-term employees: trainees, apprentices and men performing civilian service. We are constantly getting to know new people, ideas and ways of working. In addition Library.fi organizes training for all librarians in Finland.
We have to tell us a lot about our work as we guide new employees. At the same time, we can evaluate our ways of working and try to improve working methods. The different departments of the library have…
