A current student card, known as the Bodleian card, is required to enter all University libraries. Although the library that houses the books needed for coursework will likely become the most frequented library and second home for each student, it's still recommended to check out as many of the libraries as possible, browsing their shelves and discovering new options for study spots. A self-guided tour of the Bodlein library is a particularly affordable, and great way to gain insight into the rich history of the university and buildings. It is highly recommended to take it within the first few weeks of arriving on campus.
