Artistic decoration
Espergærde Library is surrounded by and filled with a number of significant art works. The most noticeable of these is Kasper Heiberg´s sculpture from 1983, which the library’s neighbors named ”The Book Worm”. The sculpture is set up along the library's front toward the road and is in three parts.
In the library courtyard there is a sculpture of Gunnar Westman -”Thor on a fishing trip with the Midgard serpent”. This was donated to the library in connection with the inauguration in 1982.
In 1990, Ursula Munch-Petersen and Erik Hagens created a wall decoration for the children's department in enameled metallic tiles effectively broken by rustic ceramic tiles.
