While the era of big-box bookstores and amazon.com changed the way people get and browse for their books and media, libraries are not dead. Here in the Netherlands, they are very much alive.
In this video I visit the new crown jewel of all libraries in Amsterdam. It is the largest in Europe; an amazing cultural space with a long list of amenities that are worth checking out, if you ever find yourself in this city.

Thanks Jam as well. It seems odd to say, but the library has become a common hang out now.. never thought id say that.

Beautiful pod, inspiring library. I am a public librarian in Washington, DC and would love it if our libraries were that magnificent. Library of Congress is amazing, but not as awesome as Amsterdam's!

Hands down the best public architecture I've ever seen. Who is this designed by? The sign by the piano, for you non-Dutch speakers out there, means 'If you can play the piano, you may play the piano!' Here is some more cool architecture in the works...
