The aim of this thesis is to bring knowledge in how Swedish library press has talked about immigration and integration in times of increased proportion of asylum seekers. The theoretical framework for the study is Douglas Rabers three ideologies, social activism, conservative response and populist initiative. Qualitative content analysis is applied to articles collected from library press in 1992 and 2015. The analysis results in three themes encapsulate the content of the article: practical challenges, role in society and political conditions. The conclusion is that the ideology that dominates the result of the content analysis is social activism. The public library has a unique position as meeting place for asylum seekers and plays an important role in the integration process.
