OBA Oosterdok - Public Library

Such a nice place for studying! Sometimes too overwhelming but it’s library, right:)
A lot of space, a lot of materials for different subjects!
And there’s beautiful zone with town overview!

Nice public library, the ambience was facilitated and fascinating. Great thing I could use EDUROAM Wi-Fi there. The library was huge and have several places from newspaper to books, discussion area to cafe , restrooms and many more.

The library is free to enter, offers modern spaces, overlooking the canal, my favorite place was the terrace where you can work quietly while having a spectacular view of Amsterdam.

Beautiful Library.
The entry is free.
Feels so good to work/relax here.
One of the places I liked the most at Amsterdam ! 📚

Absolutely amazing place! I made time to go inside one day while walking from NEMO to the Central Station and was amazed by this library. The cafe and restaurant - wow! Coffee. And wine! Also the view from the terrace is pretty amazing.

I really liked the library. Beautiful interior, modern, lots of space. Of all the libraries in the world that I have visited, this one is second only to Helsinki. Inside there is a cafe, you can drink coffee.

A beautiful library., Very spacious with a restaurant on the 6th floor.

A fantastic library! I worked out of this place daily for about a month and could always find a nice spot somewhere in its 6 or 7 floors.

Also has amazing views.

Great library i really like it
Quite & huge
😍👍🏼

Beautiful public library, very well stocked across with books, audio and video resources across multiple genres and languages. Although a majority of their collection is in Dutch, they do stock items in English and other languages. Their online catalog and reserve service is terrific! And they also have a theatre for documentaries + cafe on 7th floor with beautiful views of the city (with an outside seating area). Separate section for kids in below ground floor- it's really cute!

Beautiful place. View from the top floor cafe is very nice. Can enjoy a nice quiet place to read & work.

this library is excellent, to study, work... to go to read... to have a coffee! the facilities are top notch! It is very big so there are many options to sit down, sofas, chairs, pufs ... etc. You also have free internet access, the opening hours are practically all day and the location is perfect. Definitely a place to visit

Just perfect place in the heart of the city for learning, preparing for exams, read or just chill. Spectacular view from the top, clear and transparent space, truly a library.

The lib is well stablished with an amazing view. Everything is perfectly arranged. You can find food and coffee inside and use the facilities even if you are not a member. Also it is possible to book a meeting room (with compensation) for training. Top floor restaurant is good a bit pricy if we consider that the clients of a lib are mostly students. The issue only is the parking lot which is difficult to find and is really expensive so I recommend to use public transport.

Great library and place yo come, there is coffee and restaurant on last floor vith point view (it's closed when it's cold and rainy outside). Recommend to visit, enjoy the books, film stuff, food and view.

Perfect place to rest in air conditioning. Cafe with indoor seating as well as outdoor tables. Bathrooms were fairly clean.

Love this library! So big that there is always room for everyone, beautiful view! Just a bit loud due to the elevators but if you go further in the spaces you do not hear them anymore, and also, it's open until late which is nice when you have a lot of work to get done!

Beautiful place. IMHO they should do something about people that don't know how to behave at a library. At least signs on the walls with the rules.

Such a beautiful library with a coffee shop, cool kids area, tons of seating and tables dispersed amongst the six floors of books, and a restaurant on the top floor. It's a great place to go and rest, work, or have a cup of coffee.

I went there for the LGBTQ collection. Very helpful library for queer books. Unfortunately those books are not allowed to borrow.
