STUDYING AT THE LIBRARY

The IMT Library is an academic library in which most of the spaces and services available are offered to both external users and institutional users (professors, students and researchers affiliated with the IMT School).

The Reading Room on the ground floor is in fact open to anyone who needs to consult, study, read or take advantage of our services.

Please note that:

• Seat reservation is mandatory for the reading room, but it is not necessary to consult reference materials, use library computers, or borrow books;
