Libraries in Venice 

Most libraries are accessible to anyone for consultation, however they often require an identification card to be left at the entrance. Many libraries do not lend books and only allow consultation. Almost all libraries have closed shelves and users are expected to ask for books at the desk after having consulted the catalogues and filled out a request form.
