The importance of reading and the library

The Library


Reading books (aloud) enriches your child's world. Reading opens a door to another world, it stimulates the imagination and it is also fantastic for both the language and social development of your child. This is important and useful in primary school. There are fun books for every age and every reading level in the library!
The Amstelland library has two beautiful branches in Amstelveen: 

Stadsplein 102
1181ZM Amstelveen

and

Bibliotheek Amstelveen Westwijk 

Children up to the age of 18 can become a member of the library for free! For more information:

There you have to enter your pass number and password of the library. The Reading Corner is an online platform with reading videos for children between 0 and 10 years old. In total there are now more than 1000 reading-aloud videos that are supplemented every week with new reading-aloud videos in every age category. You can watch the videos via desktop, mobile app and/or stream via television. The films are also available in other languages (English, Moroccan, Polish, Spanish, Syrian and Turkish). Other very useful and great resources are also free for library members, such as Bereslim, WePboek and Yoleo. You can find more about it on this page: https://www.debibliotheekamstelland.nl/collectie/e-books-luisterboeken.html
