Do you want to read the newspapers? Here you can read the newspaper and different magazines and have some quiet time. This could be good if you are in the town for a long time
We passed by this amazing piece of architecture serving as a public library with my friends during our day trip to Malmö and I immediately fell in love in it. You can totally see yourself sitting in there, reading a book while looking out of the window overlooking the neat park located in front of it. If you walk around, you will find a few windows revealing the "library life" - machines sorting out the books and stuff.
this library is so bright that even on a rainy day it does not feel gloomy. There are excellent facilities and books for children- the music room is a great idea. The library is open to any visitor to sit and read a book and I highly recommend it both for buisness travellers and families.
I want to read books again seeing this beauty of a building. It is a great mix between the modern and historical times.
The light and appealing new part of the building merges well with the old part.For me as a temporary guest in Malmo, the library's attractions include a wide selection of foreign language papers and journals as well as a good choice of English language fiction (and other languages, too). There are facilities to plug in your laptop and study at one of the window seats with inspiring views of park & greenery (but be early if you want one of these). It is generally quiet enough to concentrate. Wifi is available for card holders -- membership is free, but bring an ID. Staff is friendly and helpful, the library organizes various cultural activities, and is open on Saturdays and Sundays. Chapeau for Malmo Public Library!
This is a beautifully designed library next to one of Malmo's many parks. We enjoyed spending half an hour here just to compare it to libraries back in Britain. Lots of different areas to browse and explor.e
The Malmö Library (stadsbiblioteket) have started cleaning out among books that are no longer considered suitable. They are not burning the books – only hiding them in the basement and only giving them to you on request. Stay away from this kind of politically oriented libraries.
Visit the old part the so called castle and the modern new parts, the calendar of light. A new café is under Construction. Outside you can enjoy the green trees in Kungsparken.
I think that any visitor should walk to the library. it is a great building. It is located near a beautiful park and worth a visit.
If you're at all into architecture and you plan to do some walking around in central Malmö then check out the library as it really is a nicely designed building. Otherwise this beautiful piece of modern architecture makes for a great place to hang out and relax on a down day on your travels. Explore, read something, send some e-mails, have some cheap coffee and a decent sandwich, then go get some sun in the big park (Slotts/Kungsparken) across the street.
