Auckland Libraries

In this episode of Other Worlds, we look Beyond Books into the fascinating world of science fiction related pop culture, and the artefacts that bring these worlds to life. We check out pop up books and bubble gum cards, 8mm film, figurines and LPs in this romp through collectables and material culture. To look at this theme I am joined by Other Worlds exhibition activation curator Brent Giblin.
