Mediations

To help users of the Bpi enjoy its resources and services to the maximum and assist them in every day matters, in addition to its cultural events and remote services, the library provides an extensive offer of appreciation guidance on site, free of charge: 

  • Tours of the library and its exhibitions 
  • Workshops 
  • Advice sessions 
  • Shows and documentary selections

Outside these measures, librarians work at each information desk to guide you, advise you and help you with what you are looking for. 
Feel free to go and see them!
