Bibliotekshuset

Ever wondered what a “sweet spot” for book lovers looks like? Here at Bibliotekshuset, nestled in the heart of Amager, Copenhagen, you’ll find your answer. Bibliotekshuset isn’t just a library. It’s a vibrant hub where stories come alive, both within the pages of its books and within the community it fosters. Bibliotekshuset welcomes visitors every single day of the year, from 8 am to 8 pm. Inside, you’ll discover a treasure trove of books waiting to be explored. The dedicated staff’s passion for literature is contagious, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Bibliotekshuset offers spaces for quiet contemplation, primarily on the first floor and in the “non-fiction basement.” But it’s not all quiet whispers and turning pages. Bibliotekshuset hosts a variety of recurring activities. The basement, known as the “Non-fiction and Contemplation Zone,” provides a haven for focused study. Upstairs, on the first floor, you can catch up on current events with daily newspapers, access computers and printing facilities, or simply find a comfortable nook to study or read. During the summer months, the library’s green rooftop terrace becomes a local oasis. This tranquil space offers a unique setting to enjoy a book while basking in the Copenhagen sunshine. The ground floor buzzes with activity. Here, you’ll find convenient loan and return machines, reservation shelves, and a diverse selection of fiction for all ages. Cozy corners invite you to read aloud, and enticing book displays tempt you with new literary adventures. You can also meet your local librarians during staffed hours. Bibliotekshuset is more than just books. It’s a meeting place for reading clubs, sewing clubs, a Danish Conversation Club, a board game club, a craft club, and even the Cultural Group Amar:litt. This active community contributes to the library’s impressive lending and visitor numbers. It’s a testament to the area’s active, book-loving residents, including those from nearby schools, institutions, apartment buildings, and the larger residential area. Bibliotekshuset truly embodies the spirit of a community brought together by a shared love of stories and learning.
