Opening hours (during the academic year)
|
On Mondays the library is kept open by volunteers to make it possible to keep borrowing and returning books throughout the week. The rest of the working week at least one librarian is available at the Studium.
The library is open each year until the Midsummer Festival (St. John's Day), after which it closes until the beginning of September. Information about special arrangements is published on the Opening hours page. The Studium Catholicum, however, is much more than a library. Though the library may be closed, the Studium is open to the public for the events mentioned in the calendar. |

Registered users have lending rights at the Studium library. General users are charged an annual fee of EUR 10, with students paying EUR 5. Read more on the Borrowing page.
