Search in the library catalog of the Amsterdam Public Library

Enter one or more terms (words) in the searchbox and click on the black button or press Enter.

For a quick search with the maximum amount of results use one word, e.g.: ‘freelancing’ or ‘Paris’ or the Dutch equivalent.
Please note that using Dutch search terms will usually give you more results than using English search terms

For a more specific search with fewer, but more precise results, use two or more terms, e.g: ‘tale cities Dickens’ or ‘Morpurgo eagle snow’.
Again please note that using Dutch search terms will usually give you more results than using English search terms.

For more search options, click on ‘Advanced search’ and enter dedicated search terms.
