Public Library Ypres

The Public Library of Ypres is a modern municipal facility with an extensive collection of books, comics, magazines, films and digital resources. There is a separate youth section, workstations with internet access and regular activities such as reading clubs, lectures and workshops. The library works closely with schools and associations from the wider region.

The library is easily accessible for wheelchair users. The entrance is step-free and the aisles between the shelves are wide. A lift connects the floors so all collections are reachable. An accessible toilet is available and staff are happy to help with reaching books on higher shelves.

Reserved parking spaces are available in the immediate vicinity. The library lies centrally in Ypres, within walking distance of the Grote Markt and the Cloth Hall. Consider combining your visit with an outing to the Yper Museum or the nature reserve Palingbeek for a full day in Ypres.
