Collections Kōrero: The Art of Birds

We're excited to bring you a Bookish fringe festival edition of our newly created Collection Kōrero: The Art of Birds. The Alex librarians are big bird-lovers, so to support Forest and Bird's hotly contested 'Bird of the Year' we're bringing out all our beautiful rare bird books for the public to get a chance to get up close and personal with iconic works. These include original copies of Buller's A History of the Birds of New Zealand and Audubon's Birds of America. We'll be talking about the history and cultural impact of these beautifully illustrated works. For more information please contact: aGVyaXRhZ2UgfCB3aGFuZ2FudWlsaWJyYXJ5ICEgY29t
