Main Mission

In the main mission Society, which includes Ängelholm Library, we work long-term and agile to shape a sustainable future for all who want to live and develop in Ängelholm municipality.

Ängelholm Library consists of a newly renovated city library, seven local libraries, and a book bus. Approximately 30 people work in the organization. The library has developed a new organizational model that will take effect from autumn 2025. The new organization is based on target groups and consists of four teams focusing on children, youth, and adults, as well as a support team that provides service to the entire organization.

The municipality has a new library plan, and work is ongoing to create a new operational plan for the coming years. The library plan includes two important areas of development: promoting reading and equity, as well as democracy and participation. Ängelholm Library is part of the collaboration Library Family Helsingborg, where eleven municipalities share a common library system, web, and digital library, among other things.
