In-person and online visitors

The library’s desire to meet users where they are led to cutting-edge projects, including the Digital Italian Periodicals archive

The library reopened to the public on 1 July 1993. Since then, considerable steps have been taken to automate its procedures and expand its services. In 1998, it became part of Italy’s National Library Service (SBN - Servizio Bibliotecario Nazionale), thereby making the library’s books and other materials available to people everywhere. At the same time, new services were introduced (local and inter-library loans, database consultation, a public relations office) aimed at the broader use and appreciation of its resources.
