The Library was opened on the 20th November 1979 and it is named after the Hungarian-American scientist Leo Szilárd, who in part initiated the idea of EMBL.
To support engagement against racism, Szilárd Library brings variety of books on this topic. Books are on display at the Library Corner in Cafeteria, together with promotional material from Interkulturelles Zentrum Heidelberg.
