Reviews
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.
Great Library in Rotterdam. As I visited the huge building in the center of town I noticed that there were many level planty with books and information. The Central Library of Rotterdam ( in Dutch: Bibliotheek Rotterdam) is one of the largest libraries in the Netherlands. It has more than 2.4 million visitors annually and is the most visited cultural institution in Rotterdam. As I entered the building I noticed many people who were reading, learning and searching books. It was a relatively easy to understand the importance of being able to make a good decision by visiting the most important resource
An amazing building with a superb collection. The staff were super helpful too and spent quite some time talking about the history of the building with my son. Well worth a visit.
2 stars for the building. The wifi signal is extremly bad even if you pay the subscription fee of 20. Vey annoying and time consuming. You also need to pay 0.2 for the toilet with a subscription. Wouldn't buy it if I knew all these.
The system of this library is not convinient, It took me more than one hour to photocopy and print 5 papers. Utterly rediculuos and complicated working system, and no free Wifi.. Tables and seats are dirty, toilets are charged. Nothing comapred to the beautiful library of Almere where I used to live.
"Nice and cozy theater in the Central Library Rotterdam for all ages with a program of all kinds of cultural events, from lectures to theater and from interviews to cabaret."
