This thesis is the result of a questionnaire survey among small businesses in the municipality of Övertorneå. Small businesses need access to many different kinds of information during day-to-day operations. Since small businesses often lack resources like time, staff and money, the public library could provide small businesses with information. The aim of this thesis is to study information needs among small businesses in Övertorneå. The study also aims to suggest what kind of service the library could provide according to the information needs and the most valued information sources of the businesses.
