The youth section has an extensive collection of books: picture books, first books for learning to read and challenging books for the advanced reader. There are also interesting magazines.

The International Children's Book Collection includes books for children aged 0 to 12. The books can be checked out at no cost since an Eindhoven Library card is free for children aged 0 to 18.
