The Norwegian Union of Librarians was founded in 1993 to promote the wages and other work related issues for librarians in Norway. Our profession had traditionally been scattered around in many different general unions. The initiative in 1993 resulted in 500 librarians joining as members. By the end of 2011 we passed 1730 members, which is more than half of all librarians in Norway. Membership is open to librarians in both private and public sector.
