Dan Brown helped pay for their digitization efforts and I’m grateful for that. The library is a real gem.
- glimshe 3y agoI've always been interested in visiting but I live in the US. Anything cool in particular about the place you'd like to share?
- dr_dshiv 3y agoWell, they usually have a great exhibition of rare books — and their reading room is inexhaustible — but my favorite thing is the cafe. It’s a place in Amsterdam where you can just sit and strike up amazing conversations with people. Now I’m deeply involved in their community and I love it.
