The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the information practices of people with intellectual disabilities and their use of the public library. The method chosen for doing this was semistructured interviews with seven adults with intellectual disabilities. The theoretical framework was founded on Pamela J. McKenzie's model of everyday life information practices and Henrik Jochumssen, Casper Hvenegaard Rasmussen and Dorte Skot-Hansen's four-space model for the development of the library. The results showed that the respondents' daily information practices were very varied. Practices consisted of both active and passive information seeking, such as reading the newspaper, participating in conversations and searching the web. The library was mainly used by the respondents to be inspired, through culture, and for learning, through accessing the library's non-fictional resources, although not all respondents used the library. These results implied that the respondents viewed the library as a useful location to support their information practices. There were several ways in which the respondents could seek and retrieve information through the library. With that said, the library could have been used to a greater extent by the respondents. Some resources and activities were unknown to the respondents even though they should be available to all who need them. With amore extensive knowledge of some of these resources, people with intellectual disabilities could utilize the library even more in order to support their information practices.
