    Bibliotheek Almelo image
    This library is in a modern-looking building with several floors. The children's book section looks quite nice. They do also have books in other languages. There is a long reading table near to the entrance door where the public can sit and read a newspaper. There are a selection of newspapers to choose from. You can sit here and read a paper for free, but if you want to borrow books from the library, then that is NOT free. You have to pay a yearly subscription, although I believe it is free for children. So, I am not a member, even though I am an avid book reader. I just cannot afford the fees. But for those who can afford to pay, then it is a pleasant library with a nice quiet atmosphere. It has a restaurant inside called "Café de Meridiaan", which is very nice, although a large milky coffee is not cheap! See more..
  3. 4.5 Athenaeum Bibliotheek (2 reviews)
    - It doesn't have to be impressive or majestic to earn a five point rating

    Athenaeum Bibliotheek image
    The Athenaeum Library and City Archive is situated on the grounds of the Deventer Convent (hence the address Klooster 12), in a heritage building. Is is a dependance of the Deventer Public Library. What makes a visit to the Athenaeum Library so special is the modest exhibition of medieval books (hand written by monks and also earliest printed books), with hand written annotations of the owners from the Middle Ages. One book showed an extensive comment by the famous Desiderius Erasmus. Because of the exhibition of these treasures I rate this library with the modest exhibition five points. No wonder Deventer is the books capital of the Netherlands. As these are convent grounds, a nice and quiet sit-down can be had in the Convent garden opposite the library. See more..
