According to the Education Act, all students in compulsory and upper secondary school must have access to a school library (skolbibliotek). The school library should be part of the school's educational activities and support student learning.
Challenges
The definition of a school library varies — some schools have staffed libraries with trained librarians, while others have only a bookshelf. Research shows that staffed school libraries have a positive effect on students' reading ability and information literacy.
