Þjóðarbókhlaða - National Library of Iceland

Þjóðarbókhlaða - National Library of Iceland (Reykjavik)


The National and Unversity Libarary is on the edge of the University of Iceland campus in downtown Reykjavík. It's the largest library in the country serving both the purpose of a legal deposit and a research library. It is in a big red building called Þjóðarbókhlaðan (The National Book Barn) which was quite controversial when it was built, but has generally been accepted now, intended to give the impression of a fortress holding the countries greatest treasure.
