Bibliotheek Den Helder, School 7

Step inside School 7 and discover why this place is so beloved. Here you can read a book, take a course, drink coffee, or work in peace. Not an ordinary library, then, but an inspiring meeting place for young and old.

Meet, learn and relax

In the Reading Café, you can pick up a magazine or order a good cappuccino. Attend a lecture, see a performance in the theater hall, or join a course at the Adult Education Center. There are play corners for children and study spaces for students.

Award-winning and exceptional building

School 7 is housed in a monumental school building from 1905. The renovation is a story in itself: cozy reading nooks in old toilets, a tiered staircase, and a visible wooden roof structure. In 2017, it was named the Best Library in the Netherlands. A year later, it was even named the Best Library in the world.

Always welcome

Everyone is welcome, even without a membership. Find a quiet spot, browse through a book, or simply unwind. You can even get married here. The Helder Historical Society is also based here.
