The Library on the Poster – Exhibition at SDU's Library (4/3 – 22/4 2025)
The decades from the 1960s onwards marked an exciting period for the development of libraries – and the posters that showcased their many new activities and possibilities.
Renowned poster artists such as Ib Spang Olsen, Arne Ungermann, and Bjørn Wiinblad, along with many others, illustrated this diversity, creating a small golden age for library posters.
The themes ranged from the significance of books to the many new media and experience opportunities.
The most recent posters focus on the fight against fake news.
You can view the posters and read their stories (in Danish) in the beautiful exhibition catalogue.
The exhibition is organized by the Danish Library History Society and the University Library of Southern Denmark.
