Abstract	In Norway, all municipalities are required by the Library Act to have a public library. The public libraries are well used. Women are more frequent users than men, and the immigrant population are also a big user group. Several Norwewgian libraries have special programmes or services for immigrant woman or they have initiated projects with immigrant women as target group. The city of Lillehammer has run ICT training for immigrant women. The county library in Oppland is involved in a project to see how libraries can play a part in intercultural and political education in adult and community learning for immigrant women. Tromso library cooperates with the municipal adult learning centre on services directed towards immigrants. Other libraries provide reading circles for immigrant in combination with language courses. The paper will present these cases and discuss what impact they have.
