ACCESS TO THE LIBRARY
Access to the library is adapted to the needs of the disabled and visually impaired visitors. You are advised to enter the Library from Vegova Street, through the Newspaper Reading Room entrance. Visually impaired visitors are recommended to use the entrance from Vegova Street because the main entrance is relatively dark. Please ring the bell on the glass door. You can also notify us in advance by phone +386 1 2001 209.
Regrettably, there is no car park for the disabled but you can park your car in the nearby NUK car park or in the Kongresni Trg multi-storey car park.
ACCESS TO LIBRARY SPACES
Due to the specific ground plan you are advised to ask the security guard or the library staff to accompany you to the elevator, stairs and spaces. The physically handicapped can take the elevator to visit all library premises, except the Music Collection. To access the basement (Computer and Learning Space, Plečnik Corridor, NUK Café), ask the security guard or the reference librarian of the Newspaper Reading Room for help. Toilets adapted for wheelchair users are located in the basement and on the ground floor.
