Between the 29th of July and the 31st of August 2024, our library and the Eötvös Exhibition will be closed.

International Librarian’s Day

On the occasion of the International Librarian’s Day, we wish all librarians much joy and success in their work with the following lines.

„Now I realized that not infrequently books speak of books: it is as if they spoke among themselves. In the light of this reflection, the library seemed all the more disturbing to me. It was then the place of a long, centuries-old murmuring, an imperceptible dialogue between one parchment and another, a living thing, a receptacle of powers not to be ruled by a human mind, a treasure of secrets emanated by many minds, surviving the death of those who had produced them or had been their conveyors.” (Umberto Eco)
