Book Thursday in the Library Garden is a monthly event held in Copenhagen, Denmark, where newly published books are presented by their own authors. The evening takes place in the Library Garden and is held in collaboration with Aarhus University Press, which brings a selection of its recent titles to the gathering.
What the visit involves
- Authors present their newly published books to the audience.
- A drink is shared among attendees while the presentations take place.
- Discounted copies of the books are available to buy at the event.
- Admission is free, and everyone is welcome.
The event runs from 4 to 5 pm and is held one Thursday each month. The edition in November is scheduled for 12 November 2026, so the November gathering is a good example of what to expect.
Why go
For a visitor, this is a relaxed way to meet the people behind recent academic and scholarly publishing, and to hear them talk about their work over a drink. It suits readers who enjoy books and conversation, and those curious about Copenhagen's cultural life beyond its better-known sights. Since entry costs nothing, it is an easy addition to an afternoon in the city.
