The station concourse was the most representative part of the entire facility. It was a tall, richly decorated hall that housed additional functions: ticket offices, luggage storage, and train information. The east-west concourse provided communication between the main entrance to the station building and the underpass to the train platforms.
The reconstruction of the concourse’s fundamental framework allowed for the retention of its original functions: connection to a waiting room for passengers, an additional multimedia waiting room, and a ticket office. Furthermore, the concourse accommodated an elevator, providing access to the upper floors, a security desk, and a tourist information center for Kwidzyn and the region.

There are also public toilets in close proximity to the hall – they were not originally available in the facility.

Thanks to construction and conservation work, the former splendor of this space was restored: after initial cleaning of the wall surfaces and removal of secondary layers, gaps were filled, and the original plaster and its additions were color-matched. Conservation work was carried out on the rooms and joinery. Underfloor heating was also installed throughout the hall.

The station waiting room was designed to be a core part of the station. It has several entrances: one from the multimedia waiting room, two separate entrances from the northern and eastern parts of the building, and one from the station concourse. For travelers using the waiting room, three restrooms have been installed in the former technical rooms, including one for parents with children and one for people with disabilities. To eliminate architectural barriers, one of the waiting room entrances (from the building’s northern façade) is equipped with a safe ramp for people with mobility impairments or parents with strollers.

The multimedia waiting room is a station area located where the ticket offices once operated. Functionally, this room serves as a waiting room offering travelers additional, above-standard services, including the ability to borrow audiobooks and comics, as well as use computers connected to the internet. While waiting for a train or bus, travelers can use vending machines dispensing hot and cold drinks. The multimedia waiting room is directly connected to the main station hall, and a staircase allows access to rooms on the upper floors. A disabled restroom is adjacent to the multimedia waiting room.

The elevator , located in the main hall, provides access to the upper floors. It provides access to the library’s administrative offices on the first floor and the library’s lending library and reading room on the second floor.

Adult Rental

One of the station’s largest rooms is occupied by the Adult Lending Department. This was once a waiting room for passengers with third- and fourth-class tickets, as evidenced by the original inscription on the door to this section. The inscription was restored by the conservator in accordance with the conservation guidelines for the entire facility. Other historic architectural elements, including the wooden paneling, have also been preserved.

The Adult Lending Library offers fiction, poetry, reportage, journals, and travel literature. The addition of a mezzanine significantly expanded the collection’s storage capacity. This room features innovative relaxation areas, styled after train compartments.

Lending Library and Scientific Reading Room

The two-story section of popular science literature comprises a lending library and a periodicals reading room located in the attic. These rooms are located on the second floor, where the building was originally occupied by residential units. The academic lending library holds a collection of scientific and regional books, as well as periodicals. For those wishing to expand their knowledge, ten reading stations are available in the attic, where they can enjoy quiet and focused reading.

Multicenter

The loft will be used to create a modern learning and entertainment center using modern educational modules. This is where the library will support digital users of our institution. Future thematic classes for children and young people in fields such as chemistry and physics are planned. Programming classes will be held in the Robotics and Architecture Room.

The building from the outside

The railway station, which now houses the Kwidzyn Municipal-County Library, is an exceptionally impressive building. The “ceramic red brick” and original decorative grilles on the ground floor windows have been preserved. As a result, it remains an architecturally and historically interesting structure. After the renovation, the building retains its unique character and authenticity. Eight entrances lead to the building: the main entrance and three independent side entrances at the front (northern façade), one of which, to eliminate architectural barriers, is equipped with a safe ramp for people with mobility impairments or parents with strollers. Three further entrances lead to the building from the train platforms. One of these is an underpass leading to the main hall.

Cellars

The station building retains its original basement. All basement rooms have been renovated, and a significant portion has been used and adapted for thematic workshops held in the library. The remaining space is used as library storage space, where the library’s archival collections, both books and periodicals, are stored.

Children’s Rental

The largest room in the library is the Children’s Lending Room. It formerly housed a waiting room and a restaurant for first- and second-class passengers. The room has been completely restored, retaining its beautiful paneling, coffers, and other wooden elements. Historic architectural gems are combined with modernity, and the entire department is furnished with custom-designed furniture. The addition of a mezzanine floor has given the Children’s Lending Room additional space and a place to store collections.

The section is divided into age-specific zones for readers. The mezzanine is intended for the oldest users, the shelves located on the ground floor hold volumes for slightly younger readers, and the youngest readers can use the playroom, which once housed a cloakroom, with a historic mirror that once adorns the room.
