About
Biblioteca Tomás Navarro Tomás is a humanities research library in Madrid's San Blas-Canillejas neighbourhood, housed in the CSIC Centre for Human and Social Sciences. The reading room is spacious and quiet, with comfortable workstations. A cafeteria on-site serves inexpensive daily menus and sandwiches. Staff responses to visitors vary; some find them friendly and helpful, while access policies appear inconsistent. The location is remote and difficult to reach.
Access requires a university ID, though the library's actual policy on who can study there remains unclear from reviews. The reading room has ample power outlets and individual lighting at each workstation. The library opens weekdays 9 AM to 2:30 PM only. Several reviewers mention confusion about whether it welcomes people who simply want to work or study there.
