University Library
All faculties (and some institutes) have their own library, where you can find books and other sources specific to the faculty’s domain. Apart from faculty libraries, the University of Warsaw has one general library, which is just a 10-minute walk from the main campus. It is worth visiting even just for its unique architecture, not to mention the great number of books and magazines from different fields, quiet places for studying, cafés and restaurants, shops, and the botanic garden on the roof.
If you are not a student or employee of the University of Warsaw, as a visitor you may access the collections only on the premises, without the right to borrow books to take home.
