The National Library of Sweden in Humlegården, Stockholm, was designed by Gustaf Dahl. The article names no client, no style and no start date. The library moved into the building in December 1877 or January 1878, and the text gives the date as 1877/1878. It was built using cast iron.
Two wings were added in 1926 and 1927. The library reopened in spring 1997 after remodeling, with two underground stacks built into the bedrock and a new Annex. The article gives no dimensions.
It is the national and research library, with a Microfilm Reading Room for newspapers and an Annex that has auditoriums and exhibition rooms. Entry is free. Loan registration requires Swedish residency or citizenship and an age of 18 or over. The article gives no opening hours.
