Study places during exam periods
During exam weeks, only Leiden University students may use library study places, after online reservation.
All library locations will have some study places freely available for those visitors to whom the access restrictions do not apply. These study places are marked with a white sticker.
Law Library
The Law Library is closed year-round to students registered at educational institutions other than Leiden University, and to fee card holders who do not verifiably depend on the library collections for their research.
