Limited service during the summer

10 June 2025

The National Library is open all summer, but we have different opening hours and it may take longer to get help. During certain weeks, some services and collections are closed. Also note that parts of the facade are covered due to repairs.

In June, July and August, the National Libary has reduced opening hours. On the Opening hours page, you will find the current information.
