The paper investigates how the library understanding of the organizational strategy and values affect the adoption of innovations and new services. The paper is based on research and data collected from the adoption of the e-book in Finnish public libraries. The aim is to find out the factors in the libraries’ operating culture that support and prevent the introduction of the e-book. It was noted that in the adaptation of new services management needs to market the strategies and motivate the staff in order to encourage the staff to adopt new innovations.
