Research Library

Nes invites writers of all kinds to apply for a residency. Writers are given 24-hour access to Rannsóknasetri Háskóla Íslands, a beautiful research library that overlooks the Húnaflói Bay. Writers-in-residence can organize readings or performances at the Research Library, as well as Bjarmanes Café. Living alongside artists working in a variety of mediums creates a unique opportunity for writers to draw inspiration from other disciplines. Nes artists working in other disciplines may also have access to the library. There is no extra fee for use of the library.
