Library Developer
Kultur Gävleborg
Region Gävleborg, Sweden

I am a library developer at Kultur Gävleborg, Region Gävleborg in Sweden. I strongly believe in the value of the public library and the broad possibility it offers - for free - to each and every one who enters it, be it physically or virtually.

My focus is on digital development of our public libraries, and at the moment I have the main responibilty in the region for implementing a three year long government effort to improve public librarian digital skills through "Digital first" , where the government allocates 25 million Swedish crowns/year to set up educational structures on a national scale.
