About Centrale Bibliotheek
Library center Rotterdam
The Rotterdam Centrale Bibliotheek is located in the Laurenskwartier in the center of Rotterdam. Since 1983, the library has been located in a modern building on Hoogstraat. It is a striking building with steel pipes running from the roof down along the glass facade. The library was designed by the Van den Broek and Bakema architectural firm. The way the building is designed is regularly compared to the Center Pompidou in Paris.
The Library is a 2-minute walk from Blaak metro and train station. The Markthal and Kipstraat parking garages are a few minutes’ walk away.
