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.

The Library will be closed on the 29th November 2024 due to an university event.

Full opening hours, expanding services

The ELTE University Library and Archives will be open from the 27th of February 2023 with full opening hours.

Our full range of services are available between 9.00 and 20.00 on weekdays, and on Saturdays between 10.00 and 18.00 the Information Desk is open, as well as the Reading Hall for study and reading on site.

As part of our constantly expanding services, the lobby is accessible two hours before and after opening hours with a valid library card to use the self-services provided. The following services are available from 7.00 to 9.00 and from 20.00 to 22.00 on weekdays, as well as from 8.00 to 10.00 and from 18.00 to 20.00 on Saturdays:

  • return of books using a self-checkout terminal and our Bibliobox,
  • printing and photocopying with a pre-purchased card,
  • coffee and snack machines, comfortable armchairs for consumption.

Please note that during these extra time periods, the Information Desk is not open, so it is not possible to register, purchase printer and photocopier cards or use the toilets due to the closure of the 1st floor.

Everyone is welcome and we wish our students a successful spring semester!
