Visits

The Mazarine Library's gallery and exhibitions can be visited when the library is open to the public (Monday to Saturday, 10 am to 6 pm). Visitors are asked not to disturb the readers. Brochures are available at the reception desk (Library Guide or Children's Guide).

Tours

The library organises free guided tours, for individual visitors only. Conducted by a curator at the end of the day, they last about an hour and a half and focus on the history of the library and its collections, buildings, resources and services. Forthcoming visits are noted in the diary and under Tours. Visitors can register on the website.
