The Atatürk Library provides service to researchers with its two quiet study halls and two offices. We do not have an appointment system for quiet study halls.

You can apply to our library and check in according to the availability of the reading halls. Co-working offices are available for researchers by making an appointment. You can send an e-mail to ofisrezervasyon@ibb.gov.tr for an appointment.

You are able to borrow 3 books at a time from any library affiliated to the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, Directorate of Libraries and Museums, within a 1-month period and a 15-day extension right.

When you become a member a library account is created in your name.

With your library account you can see the books you have borrowed, extend the lending periods, and make reservations. You are able to extend the borrowing period of a book up until 3 days before their return dates.
