To enter into the reading halls the user must leave bags and other objects in the lockers positioned on the ground floor of the museum. The reading halls should be used to read the volumes and the magazines kept in the library and also to study.

Books and periodicals, protected with an anti-theft system, are positioned on open bookshelves and are easy to be found thanks to a functional division and clear signs. They can be directly picked up by the user who undertakes to leave them on the reading tables: the staff will put them back onto the bookshelves.
The library staff offers a reference service by giving information about the library services and offering assistance when bibliographic researches should be carried out.
