The library is always closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Visitor Information
When you visit the library for the first time, the librarian will ask you to fill out a registration form and will issue each visitor a Researcher Card. A photo ID is needed for registration.
Please present your Researcher Card each time you visit the library.
Since visitors are only allowed to bring writing materials, including paper, pencils or a laptop, into the reading room, lockers are provided for personal belongings. Cameras, scanners, cell phones, food and drink can't be brought into the library.
Library users are welcome to retrieve books and microfilm in the public areas of the reading room. Most of the collections are stored in non-public areas and will be brought out upon request.
