Una vera palestra della cultura umana! Ben organizzata e personale dipendente sempre attento e disponibile!

È un po' buffo scrivere una recensione per la Biblioteca nazionale centrale di Roma. È la biblioteca di riferimento per la città e per tutta la nazione, che custodisce almeno una copia di ogni libro mai pubblicato in Italia. E per quanto riguarda l'aspetto "umano", i vari servizi, dall'accoglienza alla distribuzione, al prestito fino al bar tavola calda interno, sono ineccepibili.
