In many countries public libraries are well known institutions, mainly specializing in lending out media. The public library of Vlissingen also lends out books and DVD's, among which you will find a collection of foreign books with the emphasis on the English language.
But the library of Flushing is more than that: it is an information centre in the old heart of the town. In the same building you can also find a quality bookshop, an Internet café, a copy shop and several advice and help desks.
