To celebrate agIdeas, the Library will host three displays including a body of work by French poster designer Alain Le Quernec, large-format vinyl lettering by type designer Nadine Chahine, and an exhibition featuring shortlisted entries to the agIdeas New Star competition.
Design is very important to the Library and this year we are celebrating 100 years of the Library’s dome. At the time the domed reading room opened in 1913, it was the largest building of its kind in the world and its design symbolised the making of a new world – socially, politically and creatively.
