CANCELLED: Librarian and press trip to Oslo
The librarian and press trip to Oslo has been cancelled, as has the opening of the new main library in Oslo.
In connection with the opening of the new main library in Oslo, Deichman Bjørvika, approx. 15 librarians and journalists will be coming to Oslo, 25-27 March. The theme of the press trip is joy of reading and libraries. In addition to a guided tour of Deichman Bjørvika, our guests will be visiting several local branch libraries, meet Norwegian authors and organizations who in various ways work with joy of reading. The trip is organized in close collaboration with Deichman and the Norweigan embassies in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris and Prague.

Norwegian children’s and young adult literature is rich in both expression and genres and addresses a wide range of themes that engage readers of all ages. The Guest of Honour programme offers a unique opportunity to showcase this breadth and bring our stories to the world.
