Open Book

The open-book icon represents a book that is open, symbolizing learning, education, and knowledge. It originated from the concept of reading and studying, and is often used to convey a sense of intellectual pursuit. The icon is commonly used in educational settings to represent learning materials or resources.

In real-world applications, the open-book icon appears in e-learning platforms, educational software, and library websites. For example, it can be found in online course materials, educational apps, and digital libraries.

From a UX perspective, the open-book icon communicates the idea of accessing information, learning, and self-improvement. It helps users understand that a resource or feature is related to education or knowledge acquisition.

Open Book is one of 787 icons in Streamline Emojis, made by Streamline and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 48 × 48 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds OpenBookIcon to components/icons/streamline-emojis-open-book.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed OpenBookIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Open Book icon, or any of 787 Streamline Emojis icons, and install it from a prompt.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Open Book", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. OpenBookIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <OpenBookIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.
