Bibliothèque Communale Ath

The Bibliothèque Communale of Ath is the public library of this Hainaut city and offers a wide collection of books, magazines, and digital media. The library regularly organises activities for young and old, including storytelling sessions, lectures, and workshops. It is an important cultural and social meeting point for the community.

The building is well accessible for wheelchair users. The entrance is step-free and the various spaces are reachable via wide corridors and, where needed, a lift. The bookshelves are placed at an accessible height and the aisles between them are wide enough for a wheelchair. Adapted toilets are available.

The library is located in the centre of Ath, a short distance from the Grote Markt and the station. Parking is available in the area, including reserved spaces for persons with reduced mobility. A visit to the library fits perfectly into a day in Ath, together with the Espace gallo-romain or a walk through the city centre.
