Make sure to visit the Centrale Bibliotheek on the Oosterdokseiland, which is just a short walk from Centraal Station. You'll find more than a few great reads at this library. First, head up to the Le Place restaurant on the seventh floor. Grab a delicious bite to eat or enjoy a refreshing beverage. Sit by the window or outside on the terrace and soak in the amazing view. Le Place even has free Wi-Fi, so you can post a picture to Facebook and make all your friends jealous back home. After, if you feel like reading a book or watching a movie, you have approximately a half million books, magazines, CDs, DVDs and games to choose from; this library is the largest in the Netherlands. In order to check out material, you will need a library membership.
