Families

The Weston Library is accessible by ramp from the Broad Street entrance. Visitors with buggies are welcome in the Weston Library, including Blackwell Hall, the exhibition galleries, Bodleian Café and Zvi Meitar Bodleian Shop, which are all located on the ground floor.

At very busy times we may need to limit the number of buggies in the exhibition galleries, and this will be at the discretion of the room attendant. Please note that very large double-buggies cannot be brought into the exhibition galleries, due to narrow walkways between exhibits.

Our tours inside the Bodleian Libraries include a number of stairs. We regret that no lift is available.

For more information, visit our Accessibility page.

The Bodleian Café is in Blackwell Hall, the main hall of the Weston Library, with easy access for buggies. It is close to our exhibition galleries and a short distance from the Old Library’s historic buildings and quadrangle. It serves a delicious selection of hot and cold drinks and snacks.

Food and drink (including bottled water) is not allowed in our exhibition galleries. 

There are accessible toilets with baby changing facilities on the ground floor of the Weston Library.

Visitors are welcome to breastfeed wherever you feel comfortable.

You can find more information about visiting the Bodleian Libraries on our Plan your visit page, including our opening hours and any upcoming closures. Further information about our tours is available from the Tours section of our website.
