Renting National Library facilities to external clients
The facilities of the National Library are primarily intended for its own use, and secondarily for other University functions.
The facilities may be provided or rented for events organised by academic organisations as well as for public non-profit organisations, associations and NGOs. The facilities will not be rented to political parties or for commercial events.
The use of the meeting facilities and reading rooms always requires a fee, and the facilities are primarily available during normal opening hours.
