Dear Readers and Visitors,

On 7 and 8 October 2022, a filming will take place in the Lions’ Court. The National Széchényi Library will therefore be closed during this period.

On 7 October, the express elevator cannot be used either, instead you can access the Buda Castle District from the Tabán by the first elevator to the Horsemen’s Courtyard (Csikós udvar) and the next elevator from there to the Castle District.

We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your kind patience. 

Please note that on Tuesday 27 September 2022 different opening hours will apply due to a private event. The library will close at 5 pm. Stack requests can be submitted until 4 pm today. 

Thank you for your understanding! 

In 2022, the Bibframe international workshop will be held in partnership between the NSZL and the Italian Casalini Libri on 20-21 September in Budapest, in a hybrid format (in person and online) in English. 

Dear Visitors! 

From 22 August, we will welcome you again on Mondays from 2 pm to 8 pm and Tuesdays to Saturdays from 9 am to 8 pm in the General Collection Reading Rooms. 

The opening hours of the Special Collections Reading Rooms are as follows:  

On St. Stephen's Day, Saturday 20 August 2022, we will be hosting an open day and a variety of events. Our reading rooms will be closed, but visitors can take part in free guided tours of our buildings and storage rooms, exhibition, and a demonstration of handpress printing.
Our bookshop and gift shop will also be open on the Open Day to welcome book lovers.

National Széchényi Library’s collections and exhibitions are accessible to readers and visitors in shortened opening hours from 18 July to 21 August 2022. We look forward to welcoming our visitors back in full opening hours from 22 August 2022.
