🌈 Celebrating Pride at the AUP Library 🌈

This June, the AUP Library celebrates Pride Month by honoring the history, achievements, creativity, and resilience of LGBTQIA+ communities around the world.

Libraries are spaces for discovery, learning, dialogue, and belonging. We are proud to support diverse voices and perspectives, and to provide access to stories that inspire understanding, empathy, and inclusion.

Visit our Pride Month display to explore books, films, and resources highlighting LGBTQIA+ experiences, history and culture.

Everyone is welcome. Everyone belongs.

Happy Pride Month!

Festival BD 2026: Hors-Cadre: BDs des Banlieues

Le Festival de la bande dessinée de l’AUP, coorganisé par le Département d’études françaises et de langues modernes et la Bibliothèque, est consacré cette année aux représentations des Banlieues dans la bande dessinée francophone. Hors-Cadre : BDs des Banlieues explore la richesse narrative, esthétique, sociale et politique de ces territoires périphériques souvent caricaturés. Entre mémoire et histoire, luttes sociales et politiques, imaginaires urbains et récits intimes, la bande dessinée devient un espace de création et de réflexion où les banlieues racontent leurs histoires, prennent forme et se réinventent.

Le festival se déroulera du 14 au 26 avril et sera accompagné d’une exposition à la galerie Combes ainsi que d’une sélection de nouvelles BD présentées dans l’Atrium.
