days out, tried and tested
Two libraries & bookstores are listed in Amsterdam so far, which is a short list and we say so rather than padding it. One of them is free to visit.

Amsterdam is a small city to be a child in, which is its great advantage: almost nothing is more than twenty minutes away by bike or tram, and the GVB carries under-fours free. The centre is where the big museums and the canal boats are, and it is also where the crowds and the cobbles are, so a buggy does better in the ring of parks around it — the Vondelpark, the Westerpark, the Oosterpark, the Amstelpark. Every neighbourhood has a free kinderboerderij and a playground within walking distance, and most cafés will find you a high chair without being asked.

One of the two libraries & bookstores listed here is free, and each one is tagged as such on its card so you can see which before you click. The rest charge, and every listing links through to the venue's own prices rather than repeating a figure here that might be a season out of date.
None of the two libraries & bookstores here has published its facilities yet, so we cannot say. Every listing links straight through to the venue's own page and phone number, which is the reliable answer for a question this specific — and we add the facilities to a card as soon as a venue tells us.
Amsterdam is the only town nearby with libraries & bookstores listed so far, but it has plenty else: indoor playgrounds (eleven), museums & galleries (fifteen) and farms & petting zoos (eleven). All of them are linked at the foot of this page, and each has the same photos, prices and opening details.
