Library Poster Exhibition

To mark the 50th anniversary of Aalborg University Library, the travelling exhibition Library Posters has arrived in Aalborg. The decades from the 1960s onwards were an exciting period in the development of libraries, and the poster medium was used to showcase the many new activities and opportunities libraries had to offer.

See the Exhibition

Renowned poster artists such as Ib Spang Olsen, Arne Ungermann, and Bjørn Wiinblad, along with many other designers, captured the richness of diversity and helped create a small golden age for library posters.

The themes reflected the importance of books, but also the emergence of new media and experiences, portraying the library as part of contemporary life.

You can view the posters in the gallery below or visit the exhibition at Kroghstræde 3 from 30 September to 30 October.

Udstillingen er arrangeret af Dansk Bibliotekshistorisk Selskab og Syddansk Universitetsbibliotek. Den særlige samling af biblioteksplakater findes i Den Bibliotekshistoriske Samling på Københavns Universitet. Der er tale om plakater, der i sin tid er indsamlet af medarbejdere ved den tidligere Danmarks Biblioteksskole.
