The Library was brought to life on the basis of Regulation No. 60 of 2 October, 2005 issued by the prof. dr hab. Karol Musioł Rector of the Jagiellonian University.

Total surface of the Library building is 2810,30 m² (of which surface habitable is 2404,70m²). About 300 users may use the Library at the same time. New modern building with functionally furnished facilities and technical improvements (air conditioning, monitoring, lift) create hospitable and comfortable environment for study. Thanks to huge surface habitable collections are located in open stacks. 2-storeys high building was built on a circular plan. A ground floor is assigned for: Reading Room, Lending Room, catalogues (online and paper), library's storage, staff rooms, 6 individual study carrels. On first floor and near the library's storage are situated audiovisual carrels equipped with TV, DVD, computers and headset.
