We bet you’ve never visited these in Europe, but here’s why you should go

When you need to relax, refresh and recharge, one of the best places to go in Europe is the public library. Here are three reasons why.

• Some of them have special exhibitions or contain fascinating artifacts like the Treasures Gallery in the British Library, which has handwritten Beatles lyrics, an original version of the Magna Carta and Jane Austen’s writing desk.

• Many of them are housed in stunning, architecturally significant buildings like the State Hall in Austria, the Royal Library in Copenhagen and Ervin Szabó in Budapest.

• They have public restrooms, free wifi and accessible outlets to charge your phone.
