You can bring the DVD to the library, if they have a place for donations and voluntary recycling of materials (many libraries in Helsinki do have). Unfortunately the library itself is not allowed to receive movies as donations, since we have to get a license and pay for it for copyright reasons.

Helsinki City Library has no specific program concerning the issues you are interested in. However, the starting point for all activities in our library is that people are not discriminated for any reason at all be it a question of age, gender, ethnic background or sexual orientation or predilection.
If you mean the Finnish word pulla (‘bun, coffeebread’), I think it can be pronounced as ‘bulla’ only if you have a flu or rarely in some Finnish dialects. According to Kielitoimiston sanakirja, the Finnish word bulla means also ‘papal bull’ - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_bull.
In Finland you can study law in the university. Degrees offered by the University on Helsinki Faculty of law can be found at http://www.helsinki.fi/oik/tdk/english/faculty/faculty.html How to apply - International Students' Guide to the University of Helsinki can be found at http://www.helsinki.fi/english/howtoapply
To apply for admission for a Bachelor's or a Master's degree programme you must submit an application form to the university. The closing date for applications is January 31.

Finland is situated in northern Europe between the 60th and 70th parallels of latitude. A quarter of its total area lies north of the Arctic Circle. Finland's neighbouring countries are Sweden, Norway and Russia, which have land borders with Finland, and Estonia across the Gulf of Finland.
Finland is a rebublic. More information is to be found for example from the homepage of Parliament of Finland ( http://www.eduskunta.fi/ ).

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.
Suomen Sukututkimusseura (The Genealogical Society of Finland, http://www.genealogia.fi/) has a database called Hiski (http://www.genealogia.fi/hiski?fi). Hiski includes lists of christenings, marriages, burials and moves. There is information about Hiski in English:

You probably mean colour therapy, which is not a branch of classical psychotherapy. On the other hand, arts therapy is widely accepted as valid treatment among classical psychotherapists as well, but in this kind of arts therapy, separate colours hardly have special meaning or significance.
In colour therapy, the colour purple can be interpreted in several ways. Have a look e.g. at the following links:

University of Helsinki Undergraduate library would be an expert to answer your question. http://www.opiskelijakirjasto.lib.helsinki.fi/ugl/index.htm Ask A Librarian - The Online Reference Enquiry Service of Finnish Libraries is produced mostly by Finnish public libraries. Unfortunally Undergraduate library doesn't take part to this ask a librarian service.
In the undergraduate library web page there is an library tutorial also in english, so library is teaching information retrieval skills for students very well. http://www.opiskelijakirjasto.lib.helsinki.fi/ugl/index.htm The tutorial is a part of the Academic Information Skills Project at the City Campus

Hello!
Finnish public libraries use genres when classifying adult fiction. Most used way is to separate few well known genres from the fiction stock. In Kallio branchlibrary we have separated crime (detective novels), horror, science fiction, fantasy, romance, war, humor and hunting (fishing & hunting)novels. Rest of the books are normally on the self, and e. g. translated literature and finnish literature are on the same shelf. Some libraries might use more genres e.g. Kuhmo library. It´s not common to classify the whole fiction stock.
Content description and subject indexing of novels helps in fiction retrieval.
I couldn`t find scientific material in english.
