A beautiful old library with a cozy cafe «Å» on the second floor.

Ideal for spending time reading or internet surfing inside. Better still, there’s a cafe inside where you could have a sip of coffee or snack. Awesome, serene and tranquil experience here.
Beautiful building and very good facilities. Walls and (at least some of the) ceiling inside is decorated nicely - many of the walls artistically painted, seating is comfortable, there is at least one big and quiet reading room. It would probably be good if it was also open on Sundays, and longer on Saturdays though. Edit 4.10.17: I noticed now that there is a lot of leather used in the chairs. It would be better if some more eco-friendly material was used, I think.
The formal partition of the library from the University of Oslo Library was in 1999. See: Stam, David H. , International Dictionary of Library Histories: Volume 1 & 2, Libraries: Ambrosiana Library & Zürich Central Library to National Library of Brazil & Canada, London and New York: Routledge, 2015, p. 541-542.
Bigger than it looks. Great place to get some studying done, if you keep in mind that it might be hard for you to find an outlet. Your best chance in the lower floor. But very quiet and reasonable hours, and as you can imagine, always packed with students
So beautiful
The librarians are ignorant and they are not willing to give some help or information at all. I talked to a person at entrance information desk then he sendt me to other two librarians. They are really a disaster. When you ask them for information what they're giving you is 100% irrelevant and they did willingly to misdirect you. They don't have any respect. May be they didn't like working at summer. I don't know, but they are really disasters.
The internet (Nasjonalbiblioteket) stopped in the middle of my work. The staff/a woman was so aggressive with telling me what to do. Calm down! It has crazy regulation that if you want to go to the reading sal you need to put everything in a closet and then use a plastic bag to put your laptop or books in it so you can go in! is that environmental? it that convenient? where is the logic?!
