library use

Reading room privileges

Library use refers to materials or resources restricted to use within a library building, not available for borrowing or checkout.

Books marked for library use only—often reference works, rare materials, or items in high demand—must remain on premises: The dictionary is for library use only.

The term also describes the act of using library facilities generally: Statistics showed increased library use during exam periods.
