NLM Reading Room Reopens

The National Library of Medicine resumed Reading Room operations on Oct. 3. Due to renovations underway in the NLM building, as well as ongoing Covid-19 considerations, services have several changes from those provided prior to the pandemic.

NLM welcomes users by appointment only Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET. To make an appointment, call 1-888-346-3656 Monday through Friday 9 a.m.-5 p.m. ET.

Users will work temporarily in room B1E08, the Billings Conf. Rm. The Reading Room can accommodate up to four users at a time.
