Rotterdam has so many cool architectural marvels, and this library is one that you shouldn't miss. The floors are stagger so you can see the expansiveness of the space. Very cool building, and of course a wonderful place to read and study.

Beatrice Gradanti (beafully__) 15-02-2025
The library has 5 or 6 floors and each is dedicated to a function, there is for example on for families with small children and kids reading (2nd) and one for silent studying (the last one). At the ground you can find a coffee space (Starbucks) and a the 1st flore is a 3d printing lab and an area for game night with chess.

What an amazing place, but unfortunately they don't offer free WiFi nor free public toilets! It's a place to never be missed when visiting Rotterdam! This is not just the biggest library in Rotterdam city, but for me it's the most well-equipped library in the Netherlands, I've visited libraries in many cities, but this one is really modern and especial. The facility is equipped with many many services and spaces which allow you to get your work done, whether it's study group or work group, you will find the best place here to finish it. You can also meet many new people here, they have many groups which organize gatherings to play games or learn the language or just to have a chat

The Bibliotheek Rotterdam is the public library in Rotterdam, Netherlands. It offers a wide range of books, resources, and cultural activities for the community. On the 2nd floor, there are kids playing areas along with different varieties of books. English books are also available. Starbucks is also attached with the library on the ground floor.

Jeffrey Raymond Wasilowski 05-05-2023
Never been to a library with so much noise on the other hand never been to a library that is so much fun. Gaming area is the best idea ever and the giant size floor chess game is a great idea too. Naturally the atmosphere and architecture is second to none.
