LIVE in the Library Garden

Music, statements and new poetry in the historic breathing hole behind the library.

We celebrate the open, free-spirited city of Copenhagen in the greenery behind The Black Diamond. At the summer stage LIVE in the Library Garden, actors, speakers, musicians and poets who have written new poems for the garden will perform. Buy refreshments along the way in the café's pop-up bar. The events take place in August and September.

Digte fra Bibliotekshaven 

Hver sommer inviterer vi danske digtere til at forfatte nye digte og læse dem op i Bibliotekshaven i august måned.

De seneste år har Det Kgl. Bibliotek fået et bredt udvalg af spændende og talentfulde digtere til at skrive et helt nyt digt med udgangspunkt i det forudbestemte tema. Nu har vi samlet digtene fra de seneste års arrangementer, så den nye fremragende danske lyrik, som Bibliotekshaven LIVE har været med til at skabe, ikke går i glemmebogen. Dyk ned i de smukke, tankevækkende digte fra de sidste år herunder.
