The National Braidense Library (Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense) is one of the 47 Italian State libraries. It depends upon the Directorate General for Libraries and Cultural Institutes (Direzione Generale per le Biblioteche, gli Istituti Culturali e il Diritto d'Autore) of the Ministry of Cultural Assets and Activities (Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali).  
The Library has four Reading Rooms (of which three are specialised), one Room for the catalogues, the distribution, the loan and the reproduction of the items and an Entrance Hall which can be accessed through the Steps of Honour (scalinata d'onore).
The Rooms can be granted for events (book presentations, conventions/conferences, promotional events, etc.).
