The library of the Kunst- und Ausstellungshalle der Bundesrepublik Deutschland is open to the general public - to visitors interested in art as well as to scholars. The library is very much used by the staff of the exhibition hall and by scholars for research work. Since its inception in 1992, the holdings of the library have steadily increased, with 2.000 new copies each year. They currently amount to 43.000 copies of books, cd-roms, videos and magazines (June 2008).
