The VIU Library is located on the first floor in the main building.

The scope of the library is to provide all the necessary and useful materials which may be required by the students and the professors who come to VIU for courses, seminars and to participate in VIU conferences.

The library collection has been gradually increasing over the last 15 years of activity and nowadays it offers around 4000 items, including books, periodicals, movies and music cds.
All the materials are first classified according to the Dewey Decimal System and then divided and arranged according to three main subjects: History (in particular the history of Venice), Social Sciences and Economics. 

The students who are interested in volunteering in the library, can have the opportunity of working 2-4 hours per week, learning librarian skills as well as helping with the lending and organizing of the books.

The library is open Monday to Friday from 9.30 am to 7.30 pm.
The reading room which is an attractive, comfortable study hall, is accessible to users 24 hours a day.
