10 years ago the School Library Forum´s core activity started; the development of model libraries. Since then, no comprehensive study of the School Library Forum has been made. How does the organization actually work and how do professionals perceive the changes of the organization? Against this background, the purpose of my essay is to examine the activity of the organization School Library Forum with a focus on organization and learning from the viewpoint of the learning organization. The following issues have been helpful to meet the purpose of the study: How do the business developer, the principals and the school librarians experience the collaboration on the school-libraries model-library activity? How does the collaboration contribute to learning within the organization according to the business developer, the principals and the school librarians? How do the business developer, the principals and the school librarians perceive the changes in the School Library Forum´s organization, seen from the perspective of the learning organization? By conducting five interviews with stakeholders in various positions within the organization, such as business developer, principals and school librarians, a deeper insight into how respondents perceive the business from the perspective of the learning organization is obtained. When the study is qualitative and the interview respondents are of a limited number there is no claim to generalize the perceptions to all workers involved in the organization. Results obtained in this study are that the organizational changes that have occurred are perceived as positive by principals and school librarians, while the business developer´s experience is more negative.
