Library

Stadsbiblioteket

The City Library is nearly a hundred years old and the building is in great need of renovation. The focus of the renovation is on technical upgrades and operational development. The renovation will be carried out with great consideration for the building's high cultural and architectural values. During the upgrade, the building is closed. We plan to reopen for visitors in early 2028. At that time, the public areas inside the library will have been enhanced, with extra focus on children and youth. With reuse in focus, well-planned, expanded, and adapted spaces will enable even more activities. We place great emphasis on children's equal value and that no one should be discriminated against, based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. To preserve the building's cultural historical values, fixed furnishings, carpentry, and art will be protected and restored. The newly renovated library will be more relevant than ever.
