Learning Center Aalst

The former BIB location has been transformed into a two-floor learning centre. This space provides a stimulating and supportive environment where visitors can meet, learn together, and focus on education.

You can access the paper collection and borrow AVM materials during opening hours. The  Learning Center also offers spaces for studying and collaborative work. Additionally, there are quiet workspaces, a podcast studio, and a recording studio for students. To ensure your spot, please reserve in advance via TimeEdit.
