                  Visitors are invited to enter, read, and study
                  in the inspirational reading halls upon
                  obtaining a free-of-charge reader’s card.
                  Silence is strictly observed in the main
                  area, but there is a study lounge where
                  conversation can flow freely, in the long-
                  standing Jewish tradition of discourse as an
                  essential part of learning.

                  Best of all, all areas of the Library are free of
                  charge, excluding gallery tours where you
                  can choose between for-pay guided tours or
                  self-guided headphone tours.

                  There is also a visitor experience for families,
                  specially designed for children aged 3 to
                  12, that provides an opportunity to explore
                  the wonders of the Library while enjoying
                  quality time together.

                  The free Bloomberg Connects app, available
                  for download from Google Play or the App
                  Store, provides an insider’s view of the
                  Library and is accessible onsite or from
                  anywhere in the world. By following the QR
                  codes distributed throughout the building,
                  the app provides the information needed to
                  help you get the most out of your visit.

                  More tailored group experiences can be
                  arranged through the Visitor Center, which
                  also offers themed tours such as Art &
                  Architecture, Sephardi Heritage, Green
                  Building & Sustainability, and more. Catering
                  options are available as well.

                  After any tour, enjoy a cafe and a treat in
                  the Library's cafe. Plus, the bookstore offers
                  unique gifts to remember your visit.

                  Make your visit to the National Library of
                  Israel an unforgettable part of your journey
                  through Jerusalem—where culture, history,

           ✦and inspiration meet.
