Surrounded by books and oak shelving, you can immerse yourself in literature and study in calm surroundings. In 2016, the reading room was renovated. As part of this renovation, the 22 shelving units by the windows were converted into study spaces, resulting in a total of 100 seats in the reading room.
Using the reading room
The reading room is a space for students, researchers, or any interested citizens. It can be used during the library's opening hours.
Activities
We occasionally host events in the reading room. such as letter-writing concerts.
What can you do here?
The reading room is a quiet zone. You are therefore not allowed to talk or eat.
