The Haut-de-Jardin level’s facilities will be rearranged to better meet the needs of today’s readers. Reception areas will be turned into reading rooms. A resource centre will be created and collections re-organised.
To conclude this period of reorganization, a new educational space and a big café will be opened in 2014 in the Western entrance hall. A ‘How to use the library’ area will also be opened in the Eastern hall.

We thank our users, readers and visitors in advance for their understanding during this period of transition.
