A Place to Eat  

There is free coffee, tea and water for all our users. You are all welcome to bring your own food or snack to eat at the library.  

Acoustics and Lighting  

The public libraries are places for people to meet up and socialize  and are therefore often quite busy. We often have school visits and we offer all kinds of events during the week. Despite that there are more quiet times and possible to find a cozy spot and dive into your reading, work or school projects. The acoustics in the library are good but the space is open and sound travels easily around. Beeping sounds can be heard from the self-service machines. Fluorscent lights are in the ceilings. Led light decorations are in the windows during the darkest months of the year.   

Guide dogs are welcome
