About the special reading room and opening hours
Disturbing noise during the building of the West link
During the building of the West link, rock caverns and tunnels will be drilled and blasted out in the area around the Humanities Library. This includes building a work tunnel under the library. The work will involve disturbing noises from drilling and blasting. The noisy work will mainly take place from 7 am to 7 pm on weekdays. You can register with the The Swedish Transport Administration’s explosion warning service so that you receive a message 30 minutes before each explosion that takes place in the area.
