We believe in International cooperation - Nordic library meeting in Copenhagen

In the Nordic library organizations we believe that international cooperation can create a better world. That's one of the reasons why we meet once a year, with all the other Nordic countries. To discuss how we can strengthen cooperation between libraries i the Nordic Countries for the benefit of people and society.
(And I don't mention Trump at all)

This year we meet in Copenhagen and have a series of presentations and discussions, which you can see more about here.

Finland has made: "Bibliotekens ekonomiska effekter"
Rapporten i korthet
Rapporten redogör för de ekonomiska effekterna av Finlands allmänna bibliotek. Utredningen gjordes på uppdrag av Finlands biblioteksförening och Finlands svenska biblioteksförening och har fått stöd av Stiftelsen för kommunal utveckling, Axiell Finland och Finlands biblioteksstiftelse. Rapporten publiceras den 7 juni 2017

The Danish Think Tank launched a European project The Economic Impact of Public Libraries in autumn 2015.
The aim of the projects is to share experience and knowledge on new ways of demonstrating impact and value of European libraries and address political key messages to politicians at both national and European level about the economic value of public libraries


Reading Culture & Joy of Reading Among Danish Children
As the largest supplier of leisure reading, the libraries have an immense potential in making a social difference by promoting children's motivation for reading. Studies show that reading literacy not only promotes reading ability, but also the general ability and desire for learning. New quantitative and qualitative knowledge will be developed in the field, which takes into account the digital development and children's changed media reality.

With more than 9.000 pupils from 3.th to 7th grade participating in the study it is the most extensive study on the subject. The goal is to actively collect knowledge and develop that can strengthen the libraries own practice in the field, in collaboration with the public schools. The project is conducted in collaboration with Copenhagen Libraries, National Centre for Reading and the Research Center Lærermiddel.dk

The development of ‘open library’ in Denmark #wlic2013

In occasion of my participation in the World Congress for Libraries IFLA, I have made ​​a presentation of the libraries in Denmark and especially the concept we call OPEN LIBRARIES. The theme of WLIC 2013 is "Future Libraries: Infinite Possibilities" and OPEN LIBRARIES is one of the possibilities. In Denmark, all the libraries is free to use, In the way, that all the basis services are free of charge for the public. In Denmark almost all the Libraries are funded by tax. The libraries are obligated to make all kinds of materials available, both physical and digital. Not just books. We have 98 municipalities and all of them are obligated, by legislation, to have a library and to finance it. Some of the municipalities have more than one library. We have approximately 450 public libraries, to a population of 5,5 mil. people.  Half of the libraries are closed in the last ten years, but the development has hopefully stopped now. It seems that development lead to fewer and few...

Hvad læser børn i en skole uden et bibliotek?

Mine største børn siger stadig at de går på skolebiblioteker, men jeg tvivler på at min den yngste på 4 kommer til at kende begrebet. I kølvandet på folkeskolereformen er skolebiblioteket nemlig blevet afskaffet eller i hvert fald erstattet af pædagogiske læringscentre . Hvad betyder det for skolen og elevernes kompetencer i forhold til traditionelle biblioteksdyder som litteratursøgning, kildekritik og læselyst, når man ændre fokus fra bibliotek til læringscenter. Det er tanker der er inspireret af at jeg er på vej til generalforsamling i Aarhus hos Kommunernes Skolebiblioteksforening eller de har naturligvis også skiftet navn til  Kommunernes Forening for Pædagogiske Læringscentre . En forening som vi I Danmarks Biblioteksforening har et godt og udbytterigt samarbejder med, hvilket vi desværre ikke har med den anden "skolebiblioteksforening" Pædagogisk LæringsCenterForening som har meddelt at de ikke længere ønsker at deltage i biblioteksparaplysamarbejdet da de ikke l...

Open libraries - without staff ............. all the time

Do you know this when you visit the library? The experience is no longer as common in Denmark North Beach: San Francisco Public Library   yesterday at 9:55 am When I as a Dane participant in such a big event like IFLA or the ALA Annual Meeting is one of the questions we often get; is it true that in Denmark the libraries are open without staff?  The answer I give is; no, we do not have libraries without staff, but we have libraries that are open even when the staff is not there. More than half of all public libraries in Denmark are now "open libraries" In Denmark, all the libraries is free to use, In the way, that all the basis services are free of charge for the public. In Denmark almost all the Libraries are funded by tax. The libraries are obligated to make all kinds of materials available, both physical and digital. Not just books.  See  New e-book deals between all danish publishers and the public libraries in Denmark We have 98 municip...
