Bookstores and libraries
Published: 15 October 2010 Modified: 03 January 2012
Most of the major bookstores in The Hague offer a foreign-language section with a smattering of books in English, German, French and sometimes Italian and Spanish. A few bookstores specialise in English-language books. A cheaper alternative is to borrow a book from a lending library.
