Postcard Art in the Library

CN postcards in Library

In 2010, Creative Nottingham published the results of a postcard competition – four different designs.  We put postcards with the winning entries around the city, in shops, cafes, bars, museums.  (We could do this thanks to the generosity of AG Communicate, a division of AlphaGraphics.)  Obviously they quickly became collector's items.

This morning, sharp-eyed Sue, one of our regular bloggers, noticed and photographed this display in the Nottingham Central Library, Angel Row.  And tweeted about it, of course (@basfordian).   The postcard in the library shows the image by Yui Waraporn.  Our 2010 blogpost has images of all the winners and an interview with two of the artists.

Wonder if the Library has a complete set of the postcards?

University Library extension gets green light

Posted: 08 Mar 2013 05:46 AM PST




The University Library will be extended to improve facilities for staff and students.

As part of the University's Estates' campus development plan, the current library will be extended to provide more space for students, including PC and laptop space and an increase in the number of bookable-rooms. The building works will commence later this month and are due to be completed by August.


A dedicated blog has been launched to provide regular updates on the building works and allow staff and students the opportunity to share their thoughts on the development. The University Library will remain open throughout the building works.

University Librarian Ian Snowley said: "This is an important first step in developing the Library to meet increasing demand from students. We know that more group study space, increased PC access and the lap-top area will be very popular. So we're already looking forward to seeing the new spaces in use at the end of the summer."
