Pre-booking your visit to the library is not necessary. Still, if you wish to view specific materials it is good to get in touch a few days in advance, as a large part of the library’s collections are stored in remote warehouses.
Materials from the remote warehouses are collected on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Materials from local storage are picked up Tuesdays-Thursdays at 13:30 and 15:30. Pre-ordered material is placed at the library’s information desk for pickup. We do not allow home loans.
