the humbold-library is probably one of the most beautiful places i've been to in berlin. it has a…read morehuge variety of all different kinds of books and is situated in a wonderful place. it's always a pleasure to go there and just walk through it especially during winter times. that's when it also gets kinda crowded in there and unfortunatly it gets really loud during these rush-hours. but other than that it's a really good place to relax and to enlarge your horizon.

A small branch library in Charlottenburg located on the quaint Nehringstr. It has three public…read morecomputers, a big selection on children's books and equally big adult section, audio and DVDs for adults and kids and some tables for kids and adults to sit and read or study. The librarians are extremely nice and helpful. A nice contrast to regular customer service. The library has two self-checkout desks that are modern and up to date. The kids section has only very few English books but no adult English books at all. However, it has a very relaxed atmosphere and offers a nice activity for families. The hours are short as the library opens only at 2 pm and closes at 6 pm.

Also, die Bibliothek, oder? Sollte so'n entspannter Ort zum ruhigen Lernen sein und so. Aber nein,…read morees ist wie'n Zoo da drin, mit lauten Studenten und zwielichtigen Gestalten, die ungehindert rumlaufen. Ernsthaft, Ohrstöpsel sind ein Muss, um den Wahnsinn zu überleben.

We walked this lovely library and enjoyed the beautiful artwork in the seating area. We saw a book swap and sat at the comfy chairs and checked out the books. There is a cafeteria onsite.

I love libraries and museums. We didn't plan on visiting this library, but as we're walking by, I…read morefelt like a magnet was pulling me toward it. And I'm glad we stopped in. It was a bitterly cold December afternoon, and we stopped in the library to warm up a bit. Visitors will receive a 30 minute visitors pass to look around the library. We went to the rare book reading room and it was a beautiful scene - over 100 people reading and studying quietly surrounded by beautiful bookcases of rare books. We' ventured on and found a comfortable sitting area that was essentially a book exchange. Visitors could bring books to leave or take books with them. We found a 75-year-old German story book for students to bring home. There's a small café on the ground floor. Prices are not unreasonably high. Very clean bathrooms.
