Stockholm's Public Library


Today, me and two of my friends, Gloria and Linh opted to go to Stockholm City today (Saturday) and just explore and roam around.

Linh and I met in the Odenplan Tunnelbana station and walked to Stockholms Stadsbibliotek or the Stockholm Public Library, to meet Gloria.

You might notice that the library is kinda weird in terms of the shape of its outside. It kinda looks like a cylinder with a normal shaped building affixed to it.


When you walk on the main entrance, you will be welcomed with an awesome view. The library is basically like a large circle. There are some pathways that lead you to non-circular quiet study rooms with more books about geography, science and demographics.

The large circle is divided into three floors which can be accessed via staircases. Along every part of the circle are shelves of books, either in Swedish or English with tons and tons of genres and fields of knowledge.

By the way, if you opt for a small snack or a coffee, I think that there is also a cafe inside the library itself. Once you go out of the library, there is a small park, a McDonalds, a Thai Food Stall and a shop where you can buy stationery. 

Thank you Linh and Gloria for making this day extra fun!
