A proud history and ambitious future plans. Perhaps this is why there is such a strong drive to grow, change, and develop. This is also what makes it exciting to work here.

The Education Administration is responsible for all activities within the municipality's preschools, primary schools, adapted primary schools, leisure centers, high schools, and adult education. In Sigtuna Municipality, school libraries are important. As a school librarian in Sigtuna Municipality, you are never alone but are part of a school library community, and at the municipal level, there is a development leader for school libraries. The work is based on a common school library plan that will soon be available in a revised version covering from preschool to adult education. Local efforts are enriched by central resources such as the Circulating Library and the Multilingual Library. Collaboration is created through collegial exchange and learning within the school librarian group and through municipality-wide activities such as Sigtuna Municipality's annual poetry competition and our school library calendar. The school librarians have started a shared blog this fall, "Skolbiblioteksbloggen!" (School Library Blog). Are you an engaged school librarian passionate about reading and learning?
