The purpose of this Master´s thesis is to examine howchildren’s needs, based on the Convention on the Rights ofthe Child, are provided for by the librarians when they havethe opportunity to create new libraries. We also examine ifchildren have been involved in the process and in that case towhat extent.Our theoretical perspective is based on MarianneAndersson’s and Dorte Skot-Hansen’s model of the fourdifferent functions the library can have for their users. Inorder to illustrate the degree of children’s involvement weuse Roger Hart’s model of participation.The thesis is based on qualitative interviews with seveninformants working at six different libraries.As a result of the thesis we can see that priority have beengiven to the function concerning how to find your way in thelibrary as a user. The informants also wanted to have alibrary that appeals to the children by offering possibilities toplay and be creative. The thesis shows that the informantsare of the opinion that it is an important issue to let thechildren participate in the process. Despite this the childrenhas in practice not been particularly involved. / Program: Bibliotekarie
