The aim of my thesis has been to investigate and elucidate a new trend in the region Blekinge Kronoberg where new recruitments of pedagogues has been employed in several libraries. I wanted to know what kind of job tasks the pedagogues work with in the libraries and if there were any similarities between them. I also wanted to know how pedagogues who are used to work in preschool and school environments experience their new workplace. My third aim investigates how the pedagogues and their previous professional role relate to the professional role of the librarian. For my research I have interviewed four employed library pedagogues who works in the region Blekinge och Kronoberg. Their work tasks differed a lot even though they had similar missions. They all worked with children of different ages, with language and language development and most of their assignments involved social meetings there they reached out to users in environments outside the libraries. All the pedagogues felt positive about their new workplace. Even though most of them started recently they felt well taken care of and both comfortable and excited about their mission. The theoretical part of the study showed a lot of discrepancy in what constitute the profession and role of the librarian. Despite this, the respondent pedagogue’s answers shows that they can adapt to the role and that they feel at ease with the transition.
