Describes the activities of a new office created by the Parliament of Sweden (the Riksdag) with the objective of contributing actively to increasing the public’s — and especially young people’s — knowledge of and interest in the Riksdag and its work. The Riksdag Library contributes to satisfy the need among the public for accurate and easily accessible information about the work and decisions of the Riksdag with its open-door policy, regional activities and training of librarians from all over Sweden.
