The largest part of the building is reserved for the library, but there are also a lot of smaller rooms for other organizations. Most of those smaller rooms can only be accessed if you know the way and have a badge. The buildings weird on the outside, and on the inside it is not much better. The layout of the rooms is really confusing. In some locations you can only enter or leave if you have a badge. So really not the place for visitors.. Novel architecture. There are sometimes exhibitions here. Moreover, I think it is a mixture of library and community center in Ghent since there are many meaningful events held here which are welcome to any age. There are also included a nice cafe. The amazing view at 3rd reading room is a must-see in Ghent. An incredibly cool space! They have everything you expect from a library plus a piano with headphones, a private film viewing tent, a 3D printed map of the city with landmarks that light up when you push on buttons with their names. They have cool pillows where you can lounge on the stairs. And they have quiet work spaces. If you're travelling, stop here to charge your phone at the 3rd floor study area, visit the restrooms indicated by pictures near the elevators/lifts, and plan your trip with the 3D map. Libraries like this are a neglected treasure! Super interesting place! Modern and comfortable. We visited it with kids and we enjoyed the library so much. The kids section was so nice that we spent a lot of time there playing and having fun. The best place to read or do a research, there are books in all subjects and also computers to use. You can also find a piano to practice Beautiful building with one critical flaw.. 3 small toilets for 1000+ people. If you need to go urgently, good luck finding an open toilet. Shame they didn't build more My place of power. I love being here. Perfect space for learning and discovering. Wonderful study space and incredible choice of books I'm a huge fan of libraries and this one is really great. I like the organisation and spacious feeling, their friendly staff and the cafe inside! There are plenty of spaces where to sit and study or work. Must visit this in Gent Zuid behind the Shopping center Gent Zuid. Such a nice architectural structure. Night view is the best. Must visit A modern haven for learning and connecting. Architecturally impressive and welcoming. Wonderful place for reading, exam preparation, learning and many more Very modern building with many facilities, more than what you expect from a library Whether you want to study on third floor or read a book, or just get a coffee by the cafeteria below it’s always been a fun and a cosy experience definitely recommend Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
