The Hagströmer Library, Visiting and Opening Hours
The Hagströmer Library has more than 150,000 books and journals in medicine, anatomy, pharmacy, natural history, biology, chemistry and other areas of knowledge related to medicine. The oldest books are from the 1480s, but the collection's emphasis is on the period 1600-1990.

Reading room opening hours: Limited opening hours in the reading room 2024
During 2024 we will be open on Wednesdays only 0900 - 12.00. This is because we are changing our catalogue system, and have a high workload.
The reading room is open Wednesdays 09.00-12.00.
Please Note: The library and reading room will be closed for summer vacation from 20th June - 26th August 2024
