What you need to know
- Children's Library on Sundays on the second floor from 10am to 4pm, with a different craft each week and children's hosts on hand
- Kids' activities mostly in Danish, so families without Danish should ask the shop for The Secret Garden box, which is in English and suits ages 5 to 11
- Packed lunches allowed in designated areas with limited seating, and the Library Garden and waterfront work well in good weather
About
The Black Diamond is the Royal Danish Library's cultural center on the edge of Copenhagen Harbor, opened in 1999 and joined to the original 1906 library building. Inside are exhibitions, reading rooms, a café and a shop, with the walled Library Garden behind.
The Children's Library on the second floor has a craft workshop, a costume corner with gold-embroidered capes, board games and a shelf of old children's books.
