While you are visiting the
Takapuna Library, take time to pore over the many and varied bookplates from
our collection and from the Ex Libris Society
Ex Libris (from the books of),
is often a label founded pasted on the inside of a book, stating to whom it
belongs. Stylistically, bookplates may be very simple, but can also be
obscure, ornate, or even heraldic in style. They are often a reflection
of their owner’s interests.
Acquiring bookplates is a
branch interest for many book collectors. This exhibition draws on the generous
donations to the Library’s collections as well as drawing on the collections of
members of the Auckland Ex Libris Society, the only such group in New Zealand..
Bookings are not required, but
