Open Library
The BBF is an ‘open library’: the reading room and study rooms remain accissible outside of consultation hours. For late opening, the student ID card must be activated at the counter (processing takes 3-4 weekdays). After that, access is possible via the side entrance in the inner courtyard of the Dean's Office building.
