It can only be a blessing to be born in a country like Finland. A newly born in Finland is already a few years ahead compared to the people of majority of countries across the world. It is the happiest nation in the world for a reason.
Great presentation in my hometown library OODI. Thank you. For us Finns, the "EU" is not "propaganda", but genuine cooperation with all people who respect democracies. Working together is better than a few links. History teaches .. And we don't value class societies very much. We value the equality of the people. We are also the most equal country in the world.
I dont value class either. However, the EU is far from equal. Its Authoratarian and leading us towards Totalitarianism. Open borders is slowly putting an end to the European utopia dream. I note you support Ukraine (as do I as you will have probably seen). The EU is in part responsible to where we are now in Ukraine. 2014 happened because of EU meddling. Ukraine today understands the value of borders whereas the EU has no cares for borders. Its a heated topic but I urge you to delve into the accounts of the EU and then tell me Its about equality. I wish the Finns and all Europeans prosperity I simply don't see the need for a corrupt political union that benefits the technocrats and the largest corporations.
@@TheWonderingEnglishman You are not stubid, so your opinions are clearly propakanda, and they are not a fact at all. You are the victim of your own non-neutral press. In Finland, press,news headlines & content are not determined by money, but always by verified information. We don't like lying and you pay for it.etc.
Miko my opinions are shaped over decades of academic research into the EU. Business dealings with EU legislation and going out of my way to disect the inner workings of the EU. The majority of the press are pro European Union. I dont let their biased bought and paid for opinions influence my findings on the EU. I ask you again very politely to look into the EU accounts, EU expenses and the bureaucracy. It's not an open political union so it will take time to dissect all that but it will be worth your time if you have the time.

I'm fully familiar with the Bilderberg member and NWO shill Alexander Stubb. But how is he or his autobiography relevant to anything other than he is fanatically pro EU and has been on record as saying he looks forward to a one world government...
Hello! I love your travel videos, but this video has to be my recent favorite. I work in a library in Florida and am starting my master's degree in library science this fall. The Finnish library is beautiful! I wish our libraries were as modern!
Finland, small people, since 1920s, our "founding Farhers" after bitter civil war. Saw that free education first by libraries then 1950s free education who ever can, Still is Helsinki UNi 600 euros per year, and government pays you to study 1200/ month, you can get student loans backed by the State uptill your Doctorate, then you get a fancy tophat and a SWORD.( Symbolic meaning) to get the most of this dum agrarian country.🤣
What an excellent library! Love the break out areas and other specific learning zones which should really help drive up entrepreneurship and innovation.
Thanks for your video of oodi library in Finland. It offer local people many opportunities to enjoy the community engemants. Your videos open my mind and view to world. Fantastic!!!
I really wish that were true but even in Helsinki which has welcomed with open arms the third world they are now suffering the so predictable outcome that all western countries are now suffering from.
Please refer to crime stats from the last 5 decades for obvious patterns that can be revealed from the last 10 years. Rape is up. Crime is up. Violent crime is up. A pattern that is repeated in all developed countries in the west thanks to the influx of low grade migrants. Having lived in London most of my life I see this corrosion of society, the city and the nation thanks to its open door policy.
@@TheWonderingEnglishman Eh, crime stats are much lower than 50 years ago. Yes, in 2-3 years some stats are slightly up but in overall picture crime is much much lower per capita than 80s for example. Murders for example much lower.
This is a negative of all modern libraries. However, as most books are now digital having a space like this to read is certainly something this Englishman is envious of! :)
It does not matter. All libraries in Helsinki region (also Vantaa, Kauniainen and Espoo) are in the same network and library system. This means you can order any book from any library and it will be delivered to your local library in a few days, for free. In this way, all libraries are equal.
There are also 3d printers, hope nobody uses them wrongly(data analysis you are not making agun or sortrs), you load from net and look at it grow: something your son/daugter friend never had, after they copy you.
Book is a personal Item, I my self own 5600, still expanding. Now people are hearing their books read by actors, its like what Ipod and net did for music. Everything has to be now. The great poet of the1960s Michael Jagger sang: "You cant always get what you want."
@TheWonderingEnglishman You obviously don't know the definition of propaganda. It's just promoting, without any biased, misleading nature. You could say you don't like the EU promoting everywhere, that's OK. But propaganda is something you can see in Russia 1. Despite that, great video.
Everytime an organisation that’s political promotes itself it is engaging it propaganda. **Propaganda** is information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view. It often involves the dissemination of information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread to influence public opinion or to obscure the truth. Propaganda can be delivered through various media, including newspapers, books, films, radio, television, and the internet, and it is often used by governments, political parties, or other organizations to sway people’s attitudes and beliefs. The EU with this display is attempting to sway public opinion in a positive way with its free maps, free stickers. So of course this is propaganda especially if you see how corrupt the EU is. I also appreciate the EU has many fans and the last thing I want to do is fall out over something that really doesn’t matter in terms of our interactions. I appreciate the view and thank you for the kind comment.
completely agree with you saying UK libraries are nowhere near as nice as this, but don't understand how they're closures "are to make progress for globalism." It sounds like a highly partisan and vague excuse to disguise Tory austerity and chronic underfunding of public services.
I spent a large chunk of my lifetime involved in Politics and connected to the Tories. And sadly this corrupt disaster of a party isn't helping things in the UK. Austerity is part to blame but the bigger part to blame is to subsidise the corporations with cheap imported labour. Labour that comes with a cost as it brings those who work and those who do not work. Schools, hospitals, housing and the roads are excessively overcrowded much to the living standards of everyone in the UK. This Library goes to show what can be achieved but it also goes to show how corrupt and wasteful the UK government is.
@@TheWonderingEnglishman appreciate the reply. I don't disagree at all. The current government are unconservative and simply incompetent with a cult of personality around Johnson. The opposition seem weak too so we're stuck in a cycle of damage limitation
Unless something fundamentally changes with British democracy the country is only going to continue spiraling downwards. 650 MPs in power clearly doesn't work.
@@TheWonderingEnglishmanUK is not a democracy. Never has and never will 🙄 43% Minority gives you 80 seat majority? WTF? House of Lords 🙄 King?? Finland is a real democracy and that is why we have nice things.
No! It's the worst library in the world! When you try to do something there, continuous flow of tourist groups flock to look at you, take pictures of you, without consent!!!

Innovation will certainly get an uptick in Helsinki is my guess.

Thank you for watching and leaving a wonderful comment I'm glad you enjoyed :) Finland is a wonderful country - I hope to return soon!
🏫 Now that's a library I don't have anywhere near me 😮💨
Only your leaders are to blame.....
My nearest in Helsinki has only has a 300 movie/theatre, and a small Gallery🤔Sad...
Thank you for video
Thank you for watching :)
If you want a specific book then they will fix it for you from another library that has it from anywhere of the Finland.
We also have a central library that houses a lot more books which you can reserve from any library in the HELMET system.
Should get there one day! ^^
とにかく、図書館に入って、そんなに寒いようではしょうがないネ😆
Thank you! Keep it up
It is not because of that Finland is homogeneous. It is the 4 things… 1) Education 2) Education 3) Education and 4) Education

The name of the place is "Ode" in English. Personally, I have to wonder why you didn't understand that right away?
Oodi Library is beautiful in appearance but it has a drawback. It doesn't have too many books.

It is new type of library comcept, why library needs books?
Reading a physical book is very different to a digital book. Don't Get Me Wrong I like both but some reading is best with a physical copy.
