LGBTQ+-youth under the age of 18 is a vulnerable group with few accessible meeting-places. We wanted to examine the library’s role in facilitating a meeting-place for this group, through qualitative interviews with various library personnel. The in-terviews were analyzed using Braun & Clarkes (2006) process for thematic analysis. Audunson’s definition of the library as a low-intensity meeting place was used as basis for our understanding of the function of the public library. The result indicated that the library personnel focused more on creating safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth, rather than a meeting place specifically. We identified four themes used to create these spaces: knowledge about the group and their needs, activities aimed at the group, an ability to establish social connections with the individual people and a clearly visible position in favor of LGBTQ+-rights. |
