The new Amsterdam Public Library is an architectural gem that features skylights,
terraces, a seven-story atrium, walls of windows, stunning views and an
open floor plan that constantly presents new spaces and interesting places. The
facility is the foundation of the city’s redevelopment for the Oosterdokseiland
area—and the heart of the library’s new attitude.
