I love it here! Brussels nicest library! If you reside in Brussels you can have a membership fee…read morefor less than 15 euros for access to all the services. Muntpunt has an extensive collection of books of all genres. But day passes are available as well. There are multiple spaces that fit different needs: there's the computer room on the 3rd where you can use the computers till 7.30 pm. On the 5th floor there's the study room: you can go there to study. There are little nooks where you can sit comfortably by yourself or in group, if you need more space for yourself. The staff is very friendly, very welcoming and always ready to help. The library is huge but there's staff walking around, so you'll always be able to ask for help. Besides the normal library services, Muntpunt organises events almost daily and the are open on Saturday. I'd love it they opened on Sunday as well. And wouldn't it be great to open the library till the late night? There's students who would love this!

Probably the best public library in Brussels. Nice design inside, large collection of Dutch books…read more Several activities during the week. Dutch speaking and international newspapers and journals. To be avoided before and during college exams, as it gets filled up with often noisy students.

I'm probably very biased, because I do not enjoy working in libraries in the first place, but I…read morereally only could spend 30 minutes in that place before having the urge to leave. If you enjoy working in libraries, this review is probably not for you, but if like me you have an aversion for them, here goes... Firstly, you must leave your bag in a locker, because you can only come in with a transparent plastic bag. I'm sorry, but book thieves are usually resourceful and not having a bag is not going to stop them. Anyway, I can live with that. But then, you cannot even have a bottle of water with you...again, it makes sense for the preservation of books, but how are you supposed to work for hours without hydrating? Going back to your locker every time you want to have a sip is just a complete hassle. Then, and what really did it for me, is the impossibility to get the wifi working. Come on people, this is not the 1990's anymore. On the plus side, the place is really massive, has large quiet study rooms and is super well located and easy to reach. The subscription is just €10 for students and €20 for everyone else for a year. I think it must be a good place for students in exams to really get focused, but it's not really my cup of tea.
