A world leader in Indigenous literature, this collection holds around 30,000 volumes and documents—funded by foundations and cultural grants managed by the Sámi Parliament. The growing recognition of smaller languages is reflected in UNESCO’s designation of 2019 as the Year of Indigenous Languages.

It is a world leader in indigenous literature. The collection of around 30,000 volumes and documents is financed by foundations and the budget that the Sami Parliament is allowed to distribute for cultural promotion. The fact that small languages are now receiving more recognition is also shown by the fact that 2019 was the UNESCO Year of Indigenous Languages.
