"There are many books in the library."

Translation: Ci sono molti libri in biblioteca.

[h0w412d]

Why not "nella biblioteca"? Is this like "in cucina" where the article can be omitted?

[mukkapazza]

You can also write 'nella biblioteca' but you're right :) The article isn't necessary here. A few other examples: sono in cucina, siamo in chiesa, andiamo in campagna...

[BillofKempsey]

But only sometimes?

If so, is there a rule which applies?

[il_filippo]

What is more common language? Nella or in?

[Winnie461621]

Why does the hint say "nella" but the right answer,"in"?
