Due to the relocation of our external warehouse the books and doctoral dissertations stored there, as well as the entire stock of the library's periodicals, will be unavailable until the beginning of January 2025. Many of our books are still available for loan and current literature can be found on the open shelves.
programok
As a part of our book launch, you can gain insight into the special publications of our library, during which the secrets of our old printed matters are revealed. The program is announced on major open days of the library; however, if it is required, we also organize book launches at pre-arranged times.
Fees of the book launch:
The library maintains its own binder’s workshop and book restoration workshop. The techniques of working in the workshop, the use of paper pulp and the sewing of sheets can become acquainted with on important open days of the library, as well as on other occasions after preliminary consultation.
Fees of the workshop exhibition?
The library palace is an eclectic building designed by Antal Szkalnitz and it was built in 1876. The walls of the palace’s Assembly Hall are decorated with frescoes by Károly Lotz and a portrait of József Ferenc by Mór Than. The aula, the staircase and the Assembly Hall are open to the public during opening hours. Based on preliminary registration, we also provide the opportunity for guided building tours in Hungarian and in foreign languages. During these tours, the Historic monument store, and the reconstruction of László Perczel’s globe will also be presented.
