Valby Library occupies the oldest building in the district - a cavalry school from 1722 that has been extended several times since. It sits close to Valby Station, opposite Spinderiet, and houses a children's library with play areas, a study zone, a comic collection and a newspaper reading room. The library also runs author evenings, children's theatre, reading clubs and exhibitions. A colourful mural by local artist Gunnar Wille decorates the gable. A new library is being built on Hanne Varmings Plads and is expected to open in early 2028.
