The culture of anti-smoking and coworking has taken a good root in Kiev. Work in such places does not seem to be something exotic. Now very few people wonder what was before the birth of these spaces. However, all over the world, libraries are the alternative to so-called free spaces.

We decided to test this, and at the same time to throw a few ideas, where you can work in peace and tranquility.

The Peter Panch Library (Библиотека имени Петра Панча)
This is a library from childhood. A symbiosis of new trends and an already proven system. It smells of old books, but at the same time you can work on a stationary computer, or on your own laptop. High-speed internet is available for every reader.
In the old manner, the library has a connection with many libraries in Kiev, so they promise to get any book for the reader (if it is in the fund). You can take several books for a subscription in one month. Of the pros - there is a lot of modern literature, which is brought by the readers themselves.
Despite its age, the library lives an active life - there are regular workshops and book presentations. Also here they are attached to European tendencies, trying to unite the reading room and subscription.
Where: вул.Большая Васильковская, 90
Work time: Mon. (11.00-19.00), Fri. (11.00-18.00).
