Admission

  • The Leopold Muller Memorial Library may be used by University and Bodleian Reader card holders.
  • To enter the library, you will need either a University card or a Bodleian Reader card. The card is used to operate the swipe-card entry system.
  • If you are not a member of the University, find out more about how to apply for a Bodleian Reader card.

Rules and regulations

The Bodleian Libraries Regulations and Rules of Conduct apply in this library. In addition, please note these local guidelines:

  • Readers are welcome to use their own laptops or mobile devices in the library. Most desks have a power socket. Please ensure that laptops are muted to avoid disturbing other readers.

  • We allow bottled water and hot drinks in KeepCups.

  • Staff service ends 10 minutes before closing time.  
  • During term-time, the library is staffed only by an invigilator after 5pm. This means that you will not be able to register as a new reader, pay fines or get assistance with stack or interlibrary loan requests.
