The idea of the international project Step by step sprang up in the Russian State Library for Young Adults in 2010 during the first visit of Britt-Marie Ingden Ringselle and Kristiina Kolehmainen. It's aim is to create a day by day life story of Swedish and Russian libraries. So every day one photo of the particular day in a library will be posted on the Photoblog. We hope that in a year each of the participating libraries (PUNKTmedis, Serieteket, Russian State Library for Young Adults) will get a vivid image of their own and sister libraries. By the implementation of this project we hope to join IFLA Sister Libraries programme. We believe that this kind of project will help our librarians not only to establish good relations with foreign colleagues and exchange ideas and experience with them, but to be inspired to develop cultural and professional connections. |

The visitors come and go as the sky changes.  4.7.2012 Serieteket The other day our floors were due to get polished so we had to move all the furniture. Johannes Mayer of Bibliotek Film & Musik took this opportunity for some peek-a-boo among the shelves.  5.7.2012 Serieteket How do you like your egg chairs in the morning? Popular among our visitors, but the staff are holding their breath for the day when somebody finally crashes one of the windows through excessive swinging.  6.7.2012 Serieteket Linda Gustafsson, comic fan and freshly baked librarian, taking care of business in a flash.  7.7.2012 Serieteket Listening to music in the library.  8.7.2012 Serieteket There is currently an exhibition in the Culture House featuring the works of famous Finnish queer artist "Tom of Finland". The exhibition is not arranged by Serieteket, but of interest to all fans of comics. Very graphic, in every sense of the word.  9.7.2012 Serieteket Wait! What is missing?  1.8.2012 Serieteket I've been on vacation for weeks. Among other places, I've visited the town on Halmstad on the West Coast of Sweden. Here, you can find a statue of one of Sweden's most famous comic characters - "91 Karlsson", created in 1932 by Rudolf Petersson. /Ola  10.8.2012 Serieteket A somewhat phallic representation of our city view? No, it's all in your mind.  11.8.2012 Serieteket 12,000 titles and something for everybody.  12.8.2012 Serieteket Generally, our comic library is aimed at an adult audience - "teenagers and above". But we get quite a few younger visitors as well.  13.8.2012 Serieteket ...and they always seem to have more fun than the rest of us.  14.8.2012 Serieteket Legendary comics artist Joe Kubert passed off from cancer on Monday. Serieteket humbly and modestly honours him by displaying his works.  15.8.2012 Serieteket Hugo Pratt's vagabond hero Corto Maltese is a huge favourite of our library and the staff. This little figurine was made by one of our former employees, Odd Ahlgren, almost fifteen years ago. It has been our "mascot" since then.  16.8.2012 Serieteket Every year in August, the Stockholm Culture Festival arranges "the World's Biggest Book Table", a huge flea market selling books in the streets of central Stockholm. Serieteket participates with our own section, "The Comic Street", on Sunday.  17.8.2012 Serieteket Everyone is welcome to Serieteket. Which might not be obvious from this picture.  18.8.2012 Serieteket Leisure.  19.8.2012 Serieteket All set for our traditional annual "Comic Street" ("Seriegatan"), part of the World's Biggest Book Table in August.  2.8.2012 Serieteket The Stockholms Pride Festival has begun and Serieteket is joining in. On stage yesterday: multi-artist Bitte Andersson, librarian Patrik Schylström, and artist and editor Marcus Linda Benzien Lindmark, presenting the subject of "queer comics".  20.8.2012 Serieteket More from Sunday's Comic Street. Serieteket sold out heap after heap of old library books, mostly comics and art books. Many buyers made many a find among the more questionable stuff.  21.8.2012 Serieteket Artists Alice Engstrom and Tomas Antila sold their own manga-inspired comics at Sunday's "Comic Street".  22.8.2012 Serieteket Yesterday's conference about libraries and social media, held in the Sodertorn University Library.  23.8.2012 Serieteket How could I?  24.8.2012 Serieteket Feelings. Nothing more than feelings.  25.8.2012 Serieteket Johannes at work.  26.8.2012 Serieteket This week has marked the beginning of the preparations for The Stockholm H.P. Lovecraft Festival in October. Great Cthulhu has been keeping a (trilobed burning?) eye on the proceedings.
Sculpture by: Mikael Holmbom  27.8.2012 Serieteket A panel from staff member Anders Lundgren's favourite comic at the moment: Omac by Jack "The King" Kirby.  28.8.2012 Serieteket Two new masterpieces to borrow home: "Locke & Key: Clockworks" by Joe Hill and "Wizzywig" by Ed Piskor. Both highly recommended.  29.8.2012 Serieteket Keep it real.  3.8.2012 Serieteket More from Wednesday's seminar on queer comics as part of the Stockholm Pride Festival. Patrik Schylstrom (middle) interviewing Bitte Andersson (left), who is presenting the works of Alison Bechdel. Also on stage: Marcus Linda Lindmark (right).  30.8.2012 Serieteket One of our neighoburing libraries is the youth library "1013", solely aimed at kids ten to thirteen years old. This guy must have used a fake ID to get in.  31.8.2012 Serieteket Staff meeting at Serieteket. Elisabet and Anders making plans for the future.  4.8.2012 Serieteket The third and last installment of Swedish artist Joanna Hellgren's amazing comic trilogy "Frances", now on our shelves. Also available in French.  5.8.2012 Serieteket So, what do you think about our progress so far? Will this become an inviting and cosy reading room before Fall?  6.8.2012 Serieteket Another of our latest purchases: "The Furry Trap" by Josh Simmons. Deeply disturbing horror stories from Fantagraphics.  7.8.2012 Serieteket Vacation is over, the librarian is back at work. And so happy about it.  8.8.2012 Serieteket Nice office. Nice view. But nobody here.  9.8.2012 Serieteket Except Black Jack.  1.9.2012 Serieteket Doing our work. In a metafictious sort of way.  10.9.2012 Serieteket And this is Serieteket today.  11.9.2012 Serieteket Order above all.  12.9.2012 Serieteket Sorting books is a working moment that wiil never be finished. And it never goes out of style.  13.9.2012 Serieteket Our "new" storage room in the basement of the Culture House. Confined, dark, dusty, scary? At any rate, we will have no problem filling the space with our stuff.  14.9.2012 Serieteket With just weeks to go before The Stockholm H.P. Lovecraft Festival II, this gentleman occupies my mind even more than usual./Anders L.  15.9.2012 Serieteket Serieteket founder Kristiina Kolehmainen tragically died in March. 65 comic artist from all over the world made portraits in her honour. Those have now been collected in a small book - "Kristiina of Kotka". An amazing project that moves us to tears.  16.9.2012 Serieteket Portraits from the book honouring Serieteket founder Kristiina Kolehmainen.  17.9.2012 Serieteket More portraits from the amazing little book honouring the deceased Serieteket founder Kristiina Kolehmainen.  18.9.2012 Serieteket Music librarian Daniel "Tatti" Persson. Stern as always.  19.9.2012 Serieteket Our very own Mister Terrific, Anders Lundgren, on duty.  2.9.2012 Serieteket Lots of odd stuff can be found in our office.  20.9.2012 Serieteket French photographer Julien Bourgeois visited the Film&Music Library yesterday, to talk about his new book, ”Swedish Music Landscape”, portraying Swedish indie music bands and artists such as First Aid Kit, Jens Lekman, and Ane Brun.  21.9.2012 Serieteket Ad for the Serieteket Movie Screenings. For 5 years, we have shown selected movies in the Culture House cinema - always with free admission. Due to new house rules, we haven't been able to show film for some months. Next week we return in full grace.  22.9.2012 Serieteket Badges for the upcoming Lovecraft Festival in October.  23.9.2012 Serieteket Ola hard at work preparing half a ton of goodies for our patrons this Saturday.  24.9.2012 Serieteket We're on a roll, baby!  25.9.2012 Serieteket I received a wonderful gift from Russia. :-) We actually had Cheburashka on Swedish television when I was a kid in the 70s, albeit with a different name ("Drutten"), and with new stories, performed with puppets instead of animation. /ola  26.9.2012 Serieteket Strange days at the Culture House. An ill-conceived decision to take away "Tintin" books from a youth library (due to "racist content") ignited an national debate about censorship. Serieteket was not involved in the decision but still got blamed.  27.9.2012 Serieteket While we firmly criticized the decision to put away Tintin books, and we don't agree that most of the books are racist (though a few of them are), we think that the debate got blown out of proportions fast. So much hate! Prejudice! Angry White Men!  28.9.2012 Serieteket The books have now been returned to the youth library. (And Serieteket was never gonna get rid of our Tintin collection a all.) Hopefully, the haters from both sides will cool down. And then we can restart the important discussion about racism.  29.9.2012 Serieteket Anders and Ola went to the Gothenburg Book Fair, Sweden's biggest literary event. We participated in panels, went to see other panels, and met lots of people. Here we are at the "Comics Stage", presenting Serieteket and the book about Kristiina.  3.9.2012 Serieteket Henrik Bylund, team leader of our neighbouring youth library, "1013", is leaving us to take over the duties as library chief of Upplands Vasby. We will miss him, of course. But for now, we are happy to get cake.  30.9.2012 Serieteket The Gothenburg Book Fair and the Comics Stage: Joanna Hellgren and Mats Jonsson discussing Joanna's latest book, "Frances 3".  4.9.2012 Serieteket Happy days at the Film & Music Library.  5.9.2012 Serieteket Many do not know that we own a big collection of art books - not only about comics, but also covering the areas of line art, illustration, graphic design, and more. This month we put those books on display, hopefully helping visitors discover them.  6.9.2012 Serieteket Speaking of donations: yesterday we got a few bags of manga from one of our patrons. Thanks! Most of it we will probably pay forward to sister library TioTretton.  7.9.2012 Serieteket The stars are right over Stockholm! I'm working on the upcoming H.P. Lovecraft festival pretty much 24/7 these days, so imagine my delight when I found this message at a speak easy in Old Town this past weekend./Anders L.  8.9.2012 Serieteket Time to get historical again: This is how Serieteket in the original premises - circa 1996.  9.9.2012 Serieteket The historical exhibition continues: This is how Serieteket looked circa five years later - around the turn of the millennium and after the move to the Stockholm Culture House. |

Nostalgia again. This must be about four years ago; Ola, Berit and Clarisa in the old Serieteket and the old UFO desk. The UFO was later relocated to the library in Sodertalje, but rumour tells us that it is searching for a new home once more.
