Your question came to Finland, https://www.visitfinland.com/ . Unfortunately, we have no access to addresses in York, other than searching in the Internet. I found Ukphonebook.com, it's possible to search for a person there, https://www.ukphonebook.com/find_a_person . To make a search, you have to buy credits. You could try using Google, surprisingly often addresses can be found that way. Facebook is a place where you can easily find old friends also from abroad.

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.

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…

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…
