Visit Airport Library on the way home
If you travel home outside of Europe, the UK or Turkey via Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, it’s easy to pay a visit to Airport Library, the international branch of the joint Dutch public libraries. This small but smart library is open 24/7 and located at Holland Boulevard between lounges 2 and 3.
