This Bachelor's thesis in Library and Information Science (LIS) aims to investigate the uprising of the digital collection mainly focusing on e-books and audiobooks of the public libraries in Sweden. The study also aims to create an understanding of consequences that affects the public libraries in the age of digital transformation. The thesis hypothesis is how public libraries are affected by digital transformation and how public librarians view technological development and democracy. The theoretical framework that is used is Access to Information by Michael Keeble Buckland from his book Information and Information Systems. The method used is interviews with six public librarians. The findings show that the respondents are mostly positively inclined to the public libraries using digital services and most of them wish there were a national infrastructure developed specifically for e-books and audiobooks.
