Madrid has a great variety of libraries, the majority of which are open to the public, providing a rich resource for investigative purposes for students and other academic researchers while studying at SLU-Madrid.
When visiting these libraries, it is advisable to carry your SLU ID and official identification (such as your passport, residence card or Spanish national ID). Such identification might be necessary if you plan to apply for a library card where this option is available.
Public libraries provide most of their resources in Spanish. However, the National Library, academic, governmental, museum and other specialized libraries offer many materials in other languages, including English. Loan privileges are available at public libraries. Some other libraries may require a letter of presentation to access their collections. To obtain this letter, contact the library office at library-madrid@slu.edu.
The hours of the libraries can be found on their websites; however, keep in mind that some libraries may close during evenings and on weekends, keep reduced hours during the summer or close during the month of August. In addition, most university libraries may limit access to their facilities during midterm and final exam periods, usually February and June.
