::Excellent place to study or work in a quiet environnement

::The good thing about this place is the beautiful building and resources. The staff was so horrible, they don't have at the very least enthusiasm to aide people!

::Complicated procedure to get in and study for no reason, not very helpful staff, misleading instructions and smelly crowded rooms. They only allow you to study in certain rooms even though you pay 5£ per day!

::One of the best libraries in Belgium concerning the sheer volume of researchable sources. Are actually up with the trend of digitizing their collection, something Leuven doesn't do. Of course the entrance fee depends on what you need. if you re a student you probably pay 10 euros for a year, while if you just want to visit it you have to pay 5 euros a day. Choice is easy to make if i say so myself. The reason that people aren't allowed to take water or drinks with them is that you can request ALL MATERIAL you want ( from 1100s manuscripts to modern day books). If someone spills water on it these manuscripts and books are ruined. Bit ignorant for people to say " well i cant take water with me so this is a bad library". If memory serves water is available for free so you are complaining about what exactly? you only have to take a couple steps to get it. In most other EU and outside the EU libraries you can't bring you water either and only a handful provide free drinking water so.... First and foremost it is a library after all not some study hall for opinionated children to muck about. Then you have people complaining about " you can't take your things with you". That is a bold faced lie. You can take whatever you want with you, even laptop, just not water or other liquids. Hell they even allow you to bring a bag with you, all they ask then is for them to inspect it. As for the argument" the lockers are on a different floor", so are they in Leuven and other places. Leuven on the other hand has some weird locking mechanism and the lockers are way smaller than the ones in the Royal Library in Brussels. Add to that that you have things to hang your jacket on INSIDE the locker is a huge plus. They also have wonderful exhibits which are all multi lingual. Most of the staff is also multi lingual which is rather rare in other libraries. In short a wonderful library with friendly staff. There is also a lot of security but that is due to the fact of the priceless manuscripts and the rather expensive/rare books in the collection. plus it is Brussels you need to protect your property. If you just go to the library to study i suggest you just go to your local library and let the places that are there for the real researchers and students from university. Just a thought.
