PROBLEMS (1-4)
1. 'Over half of Finns find online services a hindrance, due to lack of know-how, poor equipment, income problems', Finland 2019 UN Report.
56% of Finns: 'Public Library (PL) digital services are not for our interest'.
2. In PL we may queue for 6 months, for non-available book: 1/10 of book loans fail
- 30% of books never leave library shelve, wasting our taxpayer money
- 20% of people have a visual issue, but PL have <1% books in audio format
- hence 200 M €, 60% of library yearly budget, are wasted.
3. Publishers boycott audio- & e-books sale to PL; insult PL by high book prices
- 73% of books that can't be found in library - are Learning books, we must buy them, for Education => Digital Inequality Gap is growing.
4. Millions $ are invested worldwide for the BETTER, PERSONALIZED Education books,
by on-demand printing of Learning Books in one copy;
but logistics costs of such book exceed its print cost:
Amazon charges for a book delivery to Finland from US=8 $.
SOLUTION
For people, digitally under-served by PL:
Visually Impaired People; immigrants without access to home language books; low income people
- our app* would find a needed book BEYOND PL
- & adjust book ACCESSIBLE format to unique user (e.g. to cure dyslexia)
- eBook royalty will be sent to a book author, per e-library law (draft is in Parliament)
- PL book Life Cycle Cost drops to 1/10 (12€ vs 120€ paid now).
- Incentives for people:
gift book, book in immigrant language, Large Print books for elderly, FREE textbooks for students.
- Incentives for PL:
seamless new users acquisition; sharp costs reduction.
HOW IT WORKS
If a book is not available from a PL
- PL Open API shows book metadata QR-code, by book-recommendation-bot
- a user scans QR-code in our app
- book is home-delivered wrapped in IndiviDUAL mailer
- Copyright Code engraved in mailer's TOpRIght corner helps a blind person access book content.
WE ASK
PL to open API, per Open Data Directive.

Hello,
The joint development of proposals will continue here on the online platform until 21.5. During this time, city experts will comment on the proposals and, if necessary, request clarifications so that the proposals are ready for costing and later this year for residents to vote.
Edit the proposal according to experts comments by the deadline of 21.5.
If you participated in the online workshops during the previous two weeks, please also remember to modify your proposal according to the comments of the city experts presented in the workshops. When the proposal is complete, the city expert acknowledges it by commenting “ready for costing”.
The title and text of the proposal will appear during the vote. At this stage, it is also worthwhile to make them as descriptive and attractive as possible.
Have a nice wait for first of May 😊
