The Bibliothèque nationale de Luxembourg (BnL) will be closed on Friday 3 May 2019 due to preparations for the funeral of His Royal Highness Grand Duke Jean.

The BnL will lend its premises to the organising teams of the funeral service and will thus not be able to accommodate its library users.

In addition, there will be no birth or death registration services available at the Civil Register Office of the Ville de Luxembourg on Saturday 4 May 2019, the day of Grand Duke Jean's funeral. 

The Civil Register Office will similarly be closed on the public holidays of 1 May (Labour Day), 9 May (Europe Day) and 30 May 2019 (Ascension Day).
