Vigerslev Library sits in the Folehave district of Valby and serves as both a public and school library under Copenhagen Libraries. The large single-room space is divided between a children's area with room to play and read, and a quieter section for adults. The library acts as a local hub, regularly hosting events such as read-alouds, community singing, a people's kitchen and holiday camps, often in partnership with nearby daycare centres and local organisations.
