Many libraries in Denmark do stay open to 9pm. They even have tables and invite people to hang out there. Although I må not sure if you're allowed to drink or eat there they do want you to just hang out. They have boardgames that you can borrow or play there and they even have boardgames nights where you can play against other guests. Some libraries even have gaming computers and playstation 5 with sofas and all. It's pretty cool! Some of them also let you borrow things like baking forms, instruments, and tools!
NL here. One of the libraries in my city has a café on the ground floor, as well as space for more noisy activity or higher traffic volume, like music practices or a polling station. While for calm you do need to go up the stairs, the function of the third place does exist in there.
Such a construction, as far as I can tell, is pretty uncommon among libraries in the country though, the cultural sector has been criminally underfunded and disrespected for quite a while. This was a happenstance thing where several local cultural organisations teamed up to make this happen.
NL here. Which city and which library are you talking about?
One in Zwolle, near the Sassenpoort
Yeah, the libraries in Minnesota typically stay open until 9pm too.
They also would have rooms where you would be welcome to have dnd type things.
I've worked in a public library and we were fine with food as long the patrons cleaned up after themselves and it wasn't something like a full pizza. We got salty when folks just left trash on the tables.
