An opening ceremony (attended by The Moodie Report) yesterday [August 25, 2010], principally to celebrate the Airport Library, was led by Schiphol Group CEO Jos Nijhuis and Her Royal Highness Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands.

“The Airport Library offers passengers the opportunity to read books and get an introduction to Dutch literature during their stay at Schiphol. Not only does the Airport Library make a highly valuable contribution to our AirportCity concept – because of course every city has a library – but it also serves to showcase Dutch culture.
"The Airport Library service comprises Dutch fiction in as many as 29 different languages, which passengers can either read here at the airport, or take them with them on their travels as a digital version at no charge. The collection also contains an extensive range of music by Dutch musicians, films as well as photo books offering an impression of Dutch culture.”
