Week 17
22–28 April marks the international campaign Week17: the Libraries' sustainability week. At the University Library we are always thinking about how we can be more sustainable. This is why it is natural for us to be involved in the campaign, where we focus on the UN's 17 sustainability goals through our events and exhibitions.
The University Library has an important task in promoting both social and environmental sustainability, and has, as the first library in Norway, signed the Green Libraries Manifesto.
Program
The program is continuously updated.
