2. Library and Information Center
The library was founded and first operated in September 1988, which was the first academic year of the University of Thessaly. Since 1990, when the Kitsos Makris Folklore Centre was also donated to the Library, the Library has been increasing the number of its services and branches, an evolutionary process that follows proportionally the development of its parent institution. Thus, today it allocates 6 branches in cities of the Thessaly region (Volos, Larissa, Trikala, Lamia and Karditsa). In 2005 the Library moves in the New Central Library Building and changed its name to "Library & Information Centre" .
The library catalogue, the CD-ROM network and the digital library material can be accessed from:

All Erasmus students can be members of the University Library free of charge, depositing one photo, their identity card or passport and their UTH student card.
