Lonely Planet review for National Library of Russia

The lavish National Library of Russia takes up Ostrovsky square's west side. It is St Petersburg's biggest library, with some 31 million items, nearly a sixth of which are in foreign languages. Its reading rooms are open to the public, but you must bring your passport to sign in.
