The national library

Why locals love it

This is the center of knowledge in Iceland. I wish I could say that the library is compatible with standard European university libraries, but unfortunately it isn't. It has a great selection of Icelandic works in other languages and a good amount of foreign literature and essays.

Why you should visit it

It's free and gives a good insight into Iceland as a literature country (we tend to brag about being one). There are often interesting exhibitions on the first floor and the staff are more than helpful with all your questions.

Have a comment or question?

The Icelandic Library. My second home as a student and maybe in the future as a scholar. It's a cemetary of thought, where you can get lost searching for books you didn't know that existed.
