All interested parties have the right to use the library collections on site – in the Main Reading Room.
People who find it difficult or impossible to use the collections on-site may contact the library of their home unit or the nearest public library and ask about the possibility of interlibrary loan.
Due to renovations, the Main Reading Room is unavailable to readers. We encourage you to use the temporary reading room in the Circulation Desk.
