As a traveller, a library can help you a lot. The buildings are often quite amazing and if you've havd enough of paying for cookies in coffee stores, grown tired of the fast food smell and want to relax your body during your Norwegian exploration, a public space for *pondering *and reflecting will help! Libraries are a type of museum for your mind and brain as seen with The Françoise Sagan Library in Paris and National Library of Belarus. The reading area should appear calm and comfortable and **Norway **is continuously improving this skill in their **library **buildings. Let's have a look at some intellectual and free methods to explore Norway.
In 1785, **Deichmans **library was built in **Oslo **and is now one of the **oldest **in our country! They are proud of being the *biggest library in Norway *as well. That means highly equipped with computers, printers, language courses, guides, and they do of course, have books there too if you wondered. The cool thing is that **Deichmans **have **libraries **all over **Oslo **in different buildings. Depending on your area of Oslo, there will be a **Deichman **library close to you, similar to Mc Donalds!
In Narvik you can find a new **library **built by inspired young Norwegian architects. The building is a mix of a library, a beautiful bank, a cute gift shop, and the war museum of Narvik is located inside too! In Narvik, it was decided that a **Dubai **style hotel should be built, which received a lot of hate. This new building with the library inside is called **The 4th corner. **It's more **Scandinavian **looking and at the same time contemporary and is appreciated since it doesn’t stick out too much. If you want to know **Norwegian **relations with being exceptional, have a look at The Jante Law article
**Olaf Nordhagen **won the **architecture **competition for this well-made building in **1906 after a tough battle. He won since he promoted the Scandinavian character in the building with an old school style and traditional design. The library institution is from 1872, although the priests and folks were collecting books for centuries before in Norway. The library tradition of Norway traces back to the 12th Century even!
Like a castle from Disney’s Frozen, the **Trondheim **library makes the minds in the city shine. Walking through the library is like visiting a museum where you can see **skeletons when **walking over the bridge and **archaeological artifacts **are placed around the *majestic *building that previously was the city hall of Trondheim.
The Tromsø library is a symbol of the city along with the Ishavskatedral Church**. There are *arches *on the corners of the building that collect snow and make the building both artistic and functional. A certain kind of majesty that manages not to make you feel tiny might be the reason why it has been voted the most attractive library in Norway.
