Display space

Do you have photographs, art, poster displays or hobby crafts you would like to exhibit?  We are always on the lookout for new displays and exhibits - anything with a visual appeal that you feel passionately about or think might interest or educate other people.  We are really happy to help you think about what your display might look like, put it up and take it down afterwards. 

The Library is one of the busiest venues of campus and your display will enjoy attractive natural lighting and a high footfall of visitors.  Any student, staff member or person associated with the University can display their work.  If you are thinking about putting together a display we would love to hear from you, so please get in touch.

Details and dimensions of our display boards and cabinets are available as a downloadable pdf guide.

Follow the links below for photographs of recent displays.  Older exhibitions can be found in our archives.

Now showing in the University Library

Leporellos: BA (Hons) Illustration: Professional Skills Development

The First Floor cabinet displays a selection of work by Level 5 BA (Hons) Illustration students studying the Professional Skills Development module.  The module focuses on the practice of drawing as an integral part of illustration, exploring a range of activities that inform design thinking and applied creativity.  Informed by observational drawing, the students were required to illustrate an eight panel leporello with a cover that responded to one of the following themes: Nature and Growth, Time and Place, Eavesdropping, or Illustration Studio.

The cabinet on the Ground Floor displays some Leporellos from our Library collections.  A search on the Library Catalogue for concertina reveals some more titles.  We also have lots of books about book design if you would like to explore creating your own.

Thank you, students, for sharing your beautiful coursework with us.
