Some key informations to know:

Sciences Po Library is on two sites:

  • Saint-Guillaume Library, 27 rue Saint-Guillaume
  • Saint-Thomas Library, 1 place Saint-Thomas d’Aquin

We invite you to read the collections repartition between the two sites before coming.

During summer time, we are open from Monday to Friday to 9:30AM to 9:30PM and closed Saturday and Sunday.

 

Our print collections in our reading rooms represent a tiny part of our funds. To explore the totality, we recommend to use our Catalogue. From there, you can easily do your book requests and choose a pick-up place (Welcome desk of Saint-guillaume, locker of Saint-Guillaume or locker of Saint-Thomas).

A part of our digital collections are also available on the Catalogue. You will find the whole database on the Electronic resources website. The Digital Library gives you access to some archives funds and some digitized documents.

 

Some seats in Library are under reservation :

  • At Saint-Thomas, this concerned every wood tables except spinning tables.
  • At Saint-Guillaume, this concerned all seats on floors 3, 4 and 5.

Before coming, book online to seat in this space or prefer free access seats.
