Introduction
Uppsala's city library is the living room of this university town: beyond hundreds of thousands of volumes, you'll find quiet study rooms, a children's section and a local-history room. The modernised reading spaces are flooded with light, with city views through tall windows. On a rainy day, reading a book, catching a small exhibition or simply watching academic life drift past the glass rivals any paid attraction — and it's entirely free.
