Tweebronnen, Leuven

The Leuven Public Library Tweebronnen is housed in an architectural gem in Leuven. Originally built between 1936 and 1942, the building was designed by renowned Belgian architect Henry van de Velde as the city’s Technical School. Recognized for its cultural and historical significance, the structure was protected in 1990. By 2000, the site had been transformed into a public library and municipal archive office, with its former school playground reimagined as a welcoming municipal meeting space.

The Tweebronnen Library is more than just a repository of books. It offers a diverse and modern collection of books, CDs, DVDs, and games, catering to varied interests. Visitors can enjoy free WiFi and internet access through public PCs, making it a perfect spot for learning and relaxation. Its mission extends beyond providing resources-it serves as a vibrant cultural hub with tailored activities, lectures, and information stands.

As the main branch of Leuven's library network, the Tweebronnen location anchors a system that includes branches in Kessel-Lo, Heverlee, and Wilsele, as well as a mobile library bus that reaches schools and neighborhoods. This ensures that knowledge and culture are accessible to the entire community.

The library is designed as an "open house," functioning as a communal living room where everyone is welcome. By combining physical and digital collections with creative and accessible programming, the library fosters personal growth, creativity, and meaningful connections. Whether through knowledge sharing or talent development, the Leuven Public Library Tweebronnen is a cornerstone of inspiration and community engagement in Leuven.
