History
The library is named after Oscar Permeke, a cousin of Constant Permeke, who used to run the garage Permeke Motors in the building previously. In 1982 Permeke moved his business to elsewhere in the city due to lack of space.
The library opened on 22 April 2005, the last day on which Antwerp held the title of World Book Capital. The public library located at the Lange Nieuwstraat had closed on 1 September 2004.
The poem Binnen by Belgian writer and poet Bart Moeyaert is on display in the library.
