The University Library of Groningen
July 2015
To celebrate the four hundred anniversary, 1615–2015, of the University Library of Groningen the designer Nynke Tiekstra (ColtsfootMedia, Rotterdam) was commisioned to design the book The University Library of Groningen. Four hundred years of history in four buildings, forty collections and infinite pictures. The brief stated that the book should reflect the evolution of the Library ‘from a single room with chained books to a modern and busy centre which is an information hub and a social meeting place as well.’
