KU Leuven Libraries, University library system in Leuven, Belgium.
The KU Leuven Libraries maintain millions of books and articles across multiple campuses, supporting research activities through physical and digital collections.
The library system endured significant damage during World War II and underwent extensive reconstruction efforts to restore its collections and facilities.
The libraries organize exhibitions, workshops, and carillon concerts in their tower, contributing to the educational environment of Belgium's largest university.
Students and researchers can access the library facilities from 9:00 to 19:00 on weekdays, with separate schedules for weekends and holidays.
The library tower contains 64 bells, including the Liberty Bell, and offers a viewing balcony overlooking the city of Leuven.
