Robert W. Neeser, a naval historian and Library subscriber, especially appreciates the open shelves system, very uncommon in France at the time: “encyclopedias, books of reference, books such as an American Library keeps on its reference shelves in the reading room — but books which the French libraries keep under lock and key.”
Starting on Saturday 16 January, the Library will close each night at 18h in accordance with the new national curfew.
On Saturday and Sunday, the Library will open early to compensate for the reduced evening hours.
Tue–Fri: 10h–18h | Sat: 9h30–18h | Sun: 12h–18h | Mon: Closed
