Not even the Minister of Education believes that all school libraries will be staffed with trained librarians from July 1 next year. She says this at a seminar during the Book Fair in Gothenburg.

One must understand that it takes time, says Lotta Edholm (L) who claims that the long-term approach of the reform will make more people want to educate themselves as librarians.

It's not enough, emphasizes Anna Troberg, chair of the trade union DIK. According to its independent member magazine Magasin K, at least 1,300 trained librarians are missing to fulfill the government's reform, but considering all upcoming retirements of librarians, even more.

Both she and Ulrika Centerwall, lecturer at the University of Borås, which educates librarians, believe that more training places and stronger financing of the reform are needed. Lotta Edholm disagrees.

We have based ourselves on the previous Minister of Education Gustav Fridolin's investigation. Now, there are also appropriations for the purchase of literature. My assessment is that this is within the framework.
