Meet Our Experts: The University of Groningen Pop-up Library

  • The "pop-up library" is a means of bringing the library closer to the people. The concept involves setting up a booth on a designated day and location, promoting engaging conversations with users. Embraced by public libraries and increasingly adopted by university libraries, the pop-up library is recognized as an effective communication channel and outreach method. Numerous libraries employing the pop-up concept attest to its efficacy in raising awareness of library services and initiating meaningful dialogues. In the Netherlands, several university libraries have undergone centralization, leading to the disappearance of faculty libraries. This shift poses a significant challenge for libraries to remain in contact with their clients. In the meantime, the need for physical visits to the library diminishes, thanks to the ongoing digitization of services and collections. The University of Groningen Library recognized the potential of a pop-up library to (re)connect with academic staff and to increase the visibility of our services. In this presentation, we will delve into how the University of Groningen Library implemented a pop-up library. The focus will be on sharing practical insights gained from our experiences in setting up and organizing a pop-up library. We will provide an overview of our setup, offer tips and tricks, and reflect on our journey after a year of touring with our pop-up library. Join us as we explore our pop-up library venture.
