Libraries & bookshops for kids in the Netherlands

The Dutch public library, the bibliotheek, is one of the best things about raising a child here: membership is free for under-18s, and branches run voorleesochtenden — story mornings — for the under-fives. In Amsterdam the OBA's central branch has a whole children's floor. This category has one listing so far, in Amsterdam, and is plainly unfinished; library branches and English-language children's bookshops are the next thing to land in it.
