The public library in Lelystad is part of the network of Flevomeer libraries in the youngest province of the Netherlands, Flevoland, created out of the Zuiderzee, or IJsselmeer.
Since 2005, many experts have been working on a new concept for the library: inviting, challenging, inspiring new thoughts and ideas, but also ready to provide answers.

In the center of Heerhugowaard, 30 miles north of Amsterdam, it is external space of the new city square that connects buildings, old and new. Inside, the entrance hall of Town Hall and library performs the same function. Public administration meets the world of books. The difference in opening times is solved by a hydraulic staircase that descends when the library opens.
