Fagforbundet employs this tradition of dialogue and cooperation to campaign for more and better libraries, as Norwegians are used to negotiation, cooperation and participation. On the basis of these “ground rules” Fagforbundet is able to advocate improved services, point out areas lacking in funding and help ensure that, for instance, new schools are built and are fully equipped to offer library services to both pupils and the public in general.
On the local and national levels, the union may lobby for adequate public funding to ensure that libraries and school libraries have both trained staff and up-to-date books and media, since we know that the legislation does not always ensure this.
