The aim of this essay is to give a picture of the extension work at Partille Public Library, as it is today, as well as to investigate if there is a need to reconsider the way of working at the library. Qualitative interviews have been made with the extensive librarians and certain local government politicians, borrowers and personnel at hospitals as well as other institutions. The extension work at Partille Public Library corresponds quite well to the intentions which are stated for the work in certain important investigations made by the Government. The borrowers and the personnel are quite satisfied with the work and are only pointing out a few views on changes. The politicians mean that the aim of the extension work of the library is on one hand to give service to certain more or less neglected groups and on the other hand to reach new book readers.
