Update
Due to necessary renovation works, our library is currently closed to the public. We’ve made a computer available in our media annex(e) to consult our collection of audiovisuals works. You’re welcome to use it during our opening hours.
At the moment, we’re examining future possibilities for the library. Keep an eye on our website and newsletter for updates.
We offer professional advice to help with your research endeavours. In order to accommodate this, please specify your request as detailed as possible.
Entry to the argos library is free.
