University of Łódź
The library of the University of Łódź is one of the biggest and most modern academic libraries in Central Europe. 
Its total collection amounts to 3 million volumes. The main part of the book collection is in library store-rooms. The remaining books and journals are placed in the reference sections: the Main Reading Room and Study Rooms. Registered users can use self checkout machines for lending and returning books in some collections. Apart from the Main University Library there are 106 branch libraries and their collections are adjusted to the scientific and didactic activities of the institutions. The number of registered library card holders is now over 20,000.
D. H. Hill Library
While totaling over 5 million volumes, the Libraries' collection is the smallest among the "Big 3" Universities in the Triangle Research Libraries Network—the other two library systems being Duke (7.26 million volumes as of 2016) and UNC - Chapel Hill (9.19 million volumes as of 2016). Among the system's current priorities is to acquire more volumes in areas that it is not strong in, to increase its base of knowledge.
