Reviews
The library has a nice collection of art books and magazines. There is even an English section. You can walk in freely.
To lend a book you need to become a member. There are no international newspapers. For that matter you have to go to Elreba and buy one.
Now and then you can buy nice books for almost nothing that are removed from the collection,
The library is situated on the edge of the center.of Assen. Nearby is a bank.
A colorful crossing path lead's you to the new.plaza.
Enjoy your self.
We went to DNK on May 6 for a sharing dinner and a performance by Peter Pannekoek. The dinner tickets stated that we had to be there at 5:30 PM for dinner. However, this turned out to be on site at 18:00 and only then did the gates open. After dinner, which was delicious and sufficient, we were able to go to our seats on the second balcony at 20:00 to see Peter Pannekoek's show. Now I'm not super tall with my 1.95 meters, but I couldn't put my legs properly while sitting in the chair and I sat with my knees against the chairs in front of me. This is not comfortable and then such a performance of an hour and a half is quite long. By the way, I enjoyed the performance by Peter Pannekoek. But for next time I will look for other seating areas that offer more space.
Great building! But it would be great to have more silent areas reserved for study, far from noisy adolescents etc
Excellent staffs! They are very kind and polite. We've been there for library and movie theater since 2019. Today my daughter who has leukemia, needed to use toilet urgently ( result of medication). It's not a movie time yet but I decided to ask for using toilet. They are very kind even checking if everything was OK with her while she was in toilet. We so much appreciate your kindness. Thank you so much.
Very beautiful theater
Very clean and good please to watch movies however movies arent available such as groningen and other cinemas around the netherlands
Nice combined theatre and cinema. Parking is too expensive though
I pretty love this place! Polite and gorgeous library for studying!
