The subject of my master’s thesis is an examination of how public library staff perceive the commitment vis-à-vis Sweden’s five national minorities, with children and adolescents as the study’s focal point. Previous studies within this field have mainly focused on examining collections and activities directed towards these groups, with the results indicating an inadequate supply and a difficulty for libraries in fulfilling their statutory commitment with regards to the Library Act. The purpose of this study is therefore to gain knowledge on the staff’s perceptions. For this reason, specific research questions have been formulated with an emphasis on: perception of mission; objectives, challenges and facilitative factors as well as; future development. The theoretical perspectives are based on minority rights and the four-space model. A quantitative web survey was administered to each municipality’s main library in Sweden, a total of 290 libraries. The response rate was 54 percent. A univariate analysis and a qualitative content analysis were performed, with the results showing that the meeting-place function and provision of literature are the main aspects perceived to lie within the libraries’ mission. The majority report not having any objectives for the target group, those that reportedly do are formulated around books and activities. Main challenges concerning minority work include a low interest amongst library visitors, and more communication with local minority groups is referred to as the most facilitative factor. As for future development, more education and more financial resources allocated to minority work are the two most stated answers.
