What this means for visitors

For now, all physical access to the library is paused. That means no on-site study sessions, book browsing, or workspace use until operations resume.

Good news: digital services stay on

If you’re a member, you can still access the library’s full range of online resources anytime. This includes e-books, journals, and digital archives—so you won’t be completely cut off.

Stay tuned for updates

The library is urging the public to keep an eye on its official website and social media channels for the latest announcements on reopening and operations.
