The Artists' Book collection

The library has a growing collection of artists' books – artworks in book form. The works are kept in a dedicated artists' book cabinet, and are often displayed on the artists' book table. Many of the works are also at the desk, both displayed on shelves and packed in their own boxes. Feel free to ask us at the desk!

Artists' books cannot be borrowed to take home, but must be used in the library.

Printing, copying and scanning

You will find a printer for printing, copying and scanning in a separate room outside the library.
