The Shutter Hub Pop-Up Photobook Library features a curated selection of over 100 photobooks, zines, and independent publications created by photographers and publishers from around the world, highlighting and championing a broad selection of photobooks ranging across as many photography genres and themes as possible.

Running alongside the Shutter Hub OPEN 2026 at Cambridge University from 19 January to 02 April 2026, it’s tenure will also include two weeks as part of the famous Cambridge Festival.

The Photobook Library is open to everyone and fully accessible to the public to come in and view the books any time they like (as long as the building is open!). It will also be accessible during the Shutter Hub OPEN 2026 Exhibition Launch and the Shutter Hub OPEN 2026 Curator’s Talk and Tour. Visitors can also view this online catalogue of every publication featured in the library, providing a means for people to buy directly from the photographers, to get in touch, share and ask questions.

Head to the catalogue here to find out more about the books – most books are available to order directly from the photographer or publisher.
