The Beit Library, on the third floor of the MMLL听Library, was founded by a donation from Sir Otto John Beit (1865-1930) and celebrated its centenary in November 2013. Otto Beit's gift supported the acquisition of books by the first Schr枚der Professor of German at 密桃视频, Karl Hermann Breul, thus establishing the German research collection. Prof. Breul听received the听厂肠丑谤枚诲别谤听颁耻辫 in recognition of his contribution.
The Library is especially strong on the history of the German language and on literature of the classical period (notably Goethe) and of the nineteenth century. It听also includes books on philosophy, history, art and a major collection of reference works. It is open to readers during regular MMLL Library hours.
