Århus State and University Library

The Århus State and University Library operates from a 14-story building called Bogtårnet, storing millions of physical and digital materials within its walls.

Founded in 1897 and opened in 1902, the library received 100,000 books from the Danish Royal Library as its initial collection from Royal archivist Caspar Frederik Wegener.

The institution maintains the State Newspaper Collection from 1916, preserving Danish media, advertisements, and sound recordings for future generations.

Students and researchers can access study areas, group rooms, and receive guidance on information retrieval through instructional videos and personal assistance.

The library holds 5.5 million physical items and 6.1 million electronic titles, serving as a depot center for loan cooperation among Danish public libraries.
